Al Gores plan for the future of the United States
makes him our countries best choice for president.
I will clearly show this by talking about the
issues that face the nation in the year 2000 and
his stances on them. While most Americans know Al
Gore for his leadership in Congress and as Vice
President, it is the families and values of
Tennessee that have most shaped his life and
career. It was on his parents' family farm in
Carthage that he first learned the importance of
caring for the environ...

The earths population is growing every day. Every
second, on average, five children are born
somewhere on the earth. This is a growing rate of
10, 000 new births per hour, 90 million per year.
The world population is currently 5. 8 billion.
The current growth rate is 1. 7 %, if this
continues the population will double in 41 years.
The largest populated country is China, and this
is by a land sweep. The United States is third in
population, India being second. O-zone Depletion

Global warming is the most urgent environmental
problem the world will face in the next decade and
the next century. Few, if any, trends are more

Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse Effect

Is global warming real? Im sure this seems like
quite an absurd question to many people. With the
accumulation of hard evidence for global warming
and our supercharging greenhouse effect most
people have already taken for granted that the
problem truly exists. There are, however, a small,
almost unheard of group of people who are
convinced otherwise. One such person is William
Robert Johnston. His article on web clearly shows
his scepticism towards global warming. He has come
up with his own evi...

Nuclear Power Plants Sirs Researcher

In 1986, the head of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission gave this statement. Even if there was
this type of accident every year I would consider
nuclear power a valid source of energy. The
statement came from the man responsible for the
safety of nuclear power plants throughout the
United States following the Chernobyl accident,
which was the worst nuclear accident in the world
so far (Hodgson and Marignne 5). Nuclear Energy
came into use in 1953. Rather simply, when one of
the atoms of fuel in a...

Ground Level Ozone Environmental Protection Agency

Air pollution is a very big problem in the United
States. A large part of air pollution comes from
cars. The Environmental Protection Agency says,
"The most polluting activity an average person
does everyday is drive their car" (1 fact sheet
OMS- 5). Most people probably aren't aware that
they are polluting the environment. Maybe if
everyone knew how serious this pollution problem
is, they would find ways to reduce the pollution.
Most pollution that is released by cars comes from

Valence Electrons Solar Cells

Introduction Our world has been in existence for
billions of years and throughout all those years
we have used the sun for basic energy needs. So
why not be able to harness that energy and use it
to power things like our homes or our cars? Many
scientist have been developing alternate forms of
energy called Green Energy. Green power is the
solution to creating a cleaner, sustainable energy
system. Renewable energy -- power from the sun,
wind, plants, and moving water -- is a natural way
to meet ...

FREEMAN DYSON Freeman John Dyson, at 85, lives
quietly in Princeton, NJ for more than half a
century. He had been a great scholar, a physicist,
lately however since coming out of the closet as
far as the global warming is concerned Dyson feels
there is noise all around him. Dyson proposed that
whatever the climate was experiencing might be a
good thing because carbon dioxide helps plants
grow. He added the caveat that C 02 levels soared
too high they could be soothed by mass cultivation

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Humans And Animals
668 words
Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas that
occurs in small quantities in the earths
atmosphere naturally. The earths ocean, soil,
plants and animals release CO 2. The formula of
Carbon Dioxide is CO 2. The CO 2 molecule contains
2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a
carbon atom to form 2 carbon oxygen double bonds.
The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called
a linear molecule. Carbon dioxide is commonly
found as a gas and is never a liquid. It sublimes
to a solid known a...

Carbon Dioxide Nitrogen Oxide

The greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as
methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and CFCs
trap heat in the atmosphere by acting as a pane of
glass in a car. ? The glass? lets the sun light in
to make heat but when the heat tries to get out
the gases absorb the heat. Holding this heat in
causes heat waves, droughts and climate changes
which could alter our way of living. The main
gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water
vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2), and methane which
comes mainly f...

Fire is Fire 2 Introduction Fire is a topic on
which most people can comment. Fire is a
widespread phenomenon. Most of us have seen fires
in natural vegetation, or their effects; stark,
blackened vegetation or a smoke pall. Because
fires such as these can have damaging economic and
social effects, can spoil forestry timber, can
burn down houses and farms, and can kill people
and animals, there has been a lot written about
wildfires. Added to this wide perception of the
damage that can be caused ...

Renewable Energy Sources Burning Of Fossil Fuels

Shifting Power Since the beginning of industry
humans have been in search of fuel to power
machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels, such
as crude oil and coal, discovered beneath the
Earth s surface were found to be an excellent
source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in
order to generate the energy required to complete
various tasks. However, we are now realizing the
problems that are created by using fossil fuels to
generate energy. These problems are so great that
they will force huma...

Ice Storm Carbon Dioxide

INTRODUCTION Ice storms, also referred to as glaze
storms, cause considerable damage every year to
trees in urban and natural areas. They vary
considerably in their severity and frequency. Ice
storms are result of the ice formation process,
which is influenced by general weather patterns.
Ice accumulates when super cooled rain freezes on
contact with surfaces, such as tree branches, that
are at or below the freezing point (0 C). This
generally occurs when a winter warm front passes
through an ar...
