The affected sectors represent approximately 85% of the overall Sierra Leone emissions for the year 2010. The bill also would provide for the trading of emissions allowances and reductions through the government provided greenhouse gas database which would contain an

Change: Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2). A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. What are the main indicators of Climate Change? As explained by the US agency‚ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

The Greenhouse Effect Rationale The “Greenhouse Effect” is a term that refers to a physical property of the Earth’s atmosphere. If the Earth had no atmosphere‚ its average surface temperature would be very low of about 18℃ rather than the comfortable 15℃ found today. The difference in temperature is due to a suite of gases called greenhouse gases which affect the overall energy balance of the Earth’s system by absorbing infrared radiation. In its existing state‚ the Earth atmosphere system balances

Carbon dioxide‚ as well as other greenhouse gases‚ is a very important factor in the vital cycles which sustain life on this planet‚ plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and release oxygen necessary to maintain the lives of animal species‚ who through exhaling return carbon dioxide in atmosphere‚ completing the cycle .Greenhouse effect is a natural process

human activities are the dominant force driving the trend. Our smokestacks‚ tailpipes‚ and burning forests emit CO2 and other gasses that add to the planet’s natural greenhouse effect‚ allowing sunlight in‚ but preventing some of the resulting heat from radiating back to space. Many climate experts say that without big curbs in greenhouse gas emissions‚ the 21st century could see temperatures rise 3 to 8 degrees‚ weather patterns sharply shift‚ ice sheets shrink‚ and seas rise several feet.

Greenhouse gases trap infrared radiation. The radiant heat energy that the Earth naturally emits to outer space in response to solar heating. Mankind’s burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and this is believed to be enhancing the Earth’s natural greenhouse effect. As of 2008‚ the concentration of carbon

The increase of CO2 in the atmosphere thickens the ’greenhouse blanket’‚ with the result that too much heat is trapped into the Earth’s atmosphere.
