global warming is a natural occurrence for our planet‚ and doesn’t really exist. While others argue that human activities is causing global warming. Global warming is caused by many things such as pollution that is damaging our environment. The causes are split up into two groups. There are the natural or anthropogenic causes‚ and then there is the man-made human activity that causes damage to our Earth more. Some people believe that the natural causes are a release of methane gas from arctic tundra

The technology has been in use since the 1940’s‚ and has been used in at an industrial level since the 1990s. Although Canada is in possession of an abundance of natural gas resources‚

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used to extract the earth’s natural gas from shale formation found throughout the United States. The largest shale formation in the United States is the Marcellus Shale which is located

coal should be: molecular weight of CO2/ atomic weight for the element of C * 80% = 44 ÷ 12 × 80％= 2.93 kg 2. Burning 1 m3 of natural gas produces about 2 kg of CO2 Difference of natural gas producing area leads to difference of the below figures: Density of natural gas: 0.72Kg/Nm3‚ average carbon content is about 76%‚ CO2 emission per cubic meter of natural gas burning is: 0.72 × 76% × 44 ÷ 12 = 2.00 3.

World population growth‚ and developing nations determined to be more modern are consuming natural and electrical resources at an ever growing pace‚ we are putting a strain on our ecosystem that may be harming the planet’s environment beyond repair. Electrical power can be generated many ways‚ Coal‚ Natural Gas‚ Hydro Dams‚ Oil‚ Solar‚ Wind‚ and Nuclear are the major options. All of these choices have advantages and disadvantages regarding the impact

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States‚ where millions of gallons of water‚ sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas. Scientists are worried that the chemicals used in fracturing may pose a threat either underground or when waste fluids are handled and sometimes spilled on the surface. The natural gas industry defends hydraulic fracturing‚ better known as fracking‚ as safe and efficient. Thomas J

oil is a major source of energy for the world. Everyday the United States consumes more crude oil than it produces. The growing number of barrels of oil imported into the Unites States and rising gas prices are major concerns. Even though increasing the United States crude oil production may not lower gas prices immediately‚ it will eventually allow the United States to be energy independent. Oil is used in many different ways besides gasoline. Many types of products worldwide consume oil. Plastics
