Effects Of Global Warming Animals And Plants
1,848 wordsGlobal Warming Is A Serious Issue That Should Have Immediate Attention As Vice President Al Gore has said about the threat of global warming, it is "the most serious problem our civilization faces" (2). It has become quite an issue internationally because of the threat of increasing greenhouse gasses. It is these gasses, when released into the air, accumulate and then trap the heat inside our atmosphere. Our climate is greatly affected by this. Therefore, affecting all of the organisms on earth,...

Alternative Energy Sources Environmental Protection Agency
1,829 wordsROLE OF ENERGY IN BIOLOGY Introduction For a long time now, people have been curious about living things and how they live and relate to each other. Scientists form concepts and principles about these living things so that people will understand their environment better (The Living Environment). To start with, living organisms are made of the same kind of materials as all other matter, using the same kinds of energy. The different types of individual organisms have been present on earth for a lo...

Carbon Emissions Economic Activity
571 wordsThe environmentalist view of the energy intensity is based on the legacy of the I = P? A? T equation in which environmental Impact equals Population, multiplied by Affluence, and further multiplied by Technology (Earth Report 2000: Revisiting the True State of the Planet. 1999). The further desegregation of this formula implies that energy intensity can be looked upon as an integrative variable describing the impact of both technology and affluence. Bruce et al. (1996) argue that intensity is in...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Parts Per Million
2,377 words1. What are the Greenhouse Gases? Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is responsible for more than half the human contribution to the greenhouse effect, and concentrations have climbed steadily from around 280 parts per million at the dawn of the industrial revolution meaning 0. 028 percent of the air s volume is taken up by the gas to around 355 ppm today. As people burn oil, coal and natural gas, they release carbon that ancient plants in past geological ages absorbed and stored. 6 As cement workers process...
