ENVS0110 This week’s readings had the common theme of global climate change. All of these sources encompassed different aspects of climate change. John Houghton’s “The Greenhouse Effect” was more factual and scientific. S. Goerge Philander’s “The Ozone Hole‚ A Cautionary Tale” was informational too‚ however‚ the piece also discussed global reactions to the rapid climate change. Thomas R. Karl and Kevin E. TrenBerth’s “Modern Global Climate Change”‚ focused on the intensity of anthropogenic influences

The four main classes are hazardous solid wastes‚ water waste‚ gaseous waste and conservation of living thinks (4 marks) 2. What is the Treaty of Rome concerned with? It is officially named “Treaty establishing the European Economic Community” (TEEC). It involved three major goals: 1) Create a common market 2) Create a customs

Another problem that we have to face with is the size of ozone layer. The ozone layer that protects the Earth’s surface from harmful ultraviolet radiation is damaged by CFCs (chloro-fluorocarbons). CFCs are substances that come from refrigerators‚ aerosol cans and other products. When we use this products‚ we free CFCs which go into the atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer which protects us from ultraviolet radiation. The smaller the ozone layer the stronger the radiation which leads to skin burning

Warming happens naturally however because of the human race we have increased how fast it’s happening. There have been many meetings with other nations to control the amount of carbon-dioxide released. Along with the release of CFC’s that hurt our ozone. The Ozone deflects 99% of the UV rays which cause a variety of disease. We all know that it is bad but because most people don’t know what to do to help their environment. Well it’s the simple things like recycling and reducing your carbon-foot print.

Benito REACTION PLAN Ways to Slow Down Ozone Depletion Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect‚ in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet’s surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space. Both natural and human-made

Globalization and the Pollution Globalisation is an universal phenomenon which was introduced with the aim of integrating societies‚economies and cultures through a common link of trading policies‚technology and communication.With the advent of globalisation though the standard of economy has improved‚it also brought many new issues into concern. Brain drain‚pollution and spread of diseases are the major problems the world is facing today.For a large extend the factor behind this is globalisation

audience that the "ozone hole" is not caused by man and therefore requires no policy against CFC’s. Central idea: The ozone layer/"hole" is caused by fluct. in the environment and CFC’s are little if any of the cause of ozone depletion. CFC’s are very heavy‚ they stay close to the ground and do not affect the stratosphere. Volcano’s put out approx 10X more times chlorine than man produces. Ozone Center of WA states: "The 1991 volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo led to temporary severe ozone depletion but

Environmental Science Essay Air Pollution Pollution and How It Affects Elements within an Environment Harry Bond III Everest University The Earth is entirely surrounded by a blanket of air which is called the earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere allows human‚ plants‚ and all the earth’s creatures big and small to exist. The atmosphere protects the earth and without it the heat from the sun would burn all that is exposed to its rays

ecosystem’s ability to maintain itself. A valuable player in the balance of the environment‚ the ozone layer‚ is facing a very serious threat by man. Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)‚ are chemical agents commonly found in refrigerants‚ aerosol sprays‚ and in the manufacturing of Styrofoam and industrial solvents. With the rate of more than a half-million tons of CFCs being spewed into the atmosphere yearly‚ the rate of ozone depletion is rising at an alarming rate. If a global effort is not made to end the unnecessary
