Greenhouse Gasses Global Warming
770 wordsGlobal Warming: The Effects on the Global Environment When you think about what causes pollution to day, what do you first think of? The sewage from a factory spilling into the river, or is it the thick, dark, palpable cloud of smoke pouring out of the factories smokestack? Well the reason those images come to mind is because Industrial Pollution is the most visible form of pollution. In the beginning of the industrial revolution in Great Britain, it was not known nor foreseen that there would b...

George W Bush And The Kyoto Agreement
541 wordsIn 1997, the worlds major political figures, Including President Clinton of the United States, signed the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. (1). While successful negotiation of the Protocol is a positive step for the global environment, it is only a small step. A number of obstacles such as some nations economic interests conflict with the Protocol, have to be overcome if the Protocol is to produce real reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases that h...

Polar Ice Caps Nuclear Power Plants
1,053 wordsAmericans have increasingly divulged themselves in over-consumption. This escalating desire for physical goods is initiating the depletion of our resources and the destruction of our environment. The people of the United States, in their quest for material products, are causing catastrophes, such as the greenhouse effect, hazardous wastes, and a growing number of landfills. This in turn pollutes the planet and catalyzes global warming. Greenhouse effect has been reeking havoc with the natural ba...

Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels
1,092 wordsIn talking about global warming, we need to learn what causes the greenhouse effect. Rays from the sun are taken up and absorbed by water vapor that is natural in the atmosphere. The United States emits the largest manmade greenhouse gases in the world. As Americans we must realize the responsibility to reduce the emissions. (Gore, Albert) Water Vapor is eighty percent of greenhouse warming. The last twenty percent results from other gases that are in very little amounts. A huge absorber of the ...

Greenhouse Gases Carbon Emissions
708 wordsThe increase in greenhouse gases results from human related environmental pressures generated by growing population levels and greater consumer demands. As with so many environmental problems, the real challenge is to find effective ways to address these demands. Possible solutions to decreasing or avoiding the problems with the impending climate change will involve both immediate and long-term strategies. Immediate strategies to curb global warming are those, which act directly on the prices or...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Oil And Gas
572 wordsIn Canada Ontario has decided to join Quebec and Alberta in order to challenge Ottawas to diminish greenhouse-gas emissions according to Kyoto Protocol. This has become another barrier in front of Canadas Prime Minister Jean Chrtiens plans to ratify the agreement by the end of the year. Ottawa has made it almost impossible for other provinces to support the Kyoto Protocol, because of negative consequences that can happen. Implementing Kyoto Protocol is a very risky economic decision, which can c...

Greenhouse Gases Global Warming
1,644 wordsGLOBAL WARMING: A CHILLING PERSPECTIVE Millions of people have been hearing about the greenhouse effect ever since the drought of 1988. It was reported as a threat that loomed in the near future. But the words destined, future and projected were words that could alarm people. Slowly, it ceased to be a fear for the future and became a concern for the present. Global change was a fact of life. Confronted with the catastrophic implications of present data on global warming, the present children wil...

Coral Reefs And Algae
1,656 wordsCoral Reefs and Algae Coral reefs are unique ecological systems of the Earth Nature. These systems are very complicated and provide natural balance in the global ocean environment. Unfortunately, the human technological activity impacts coral reefs in the same harmful way as it impacts other ecological systems. Coral reefs are inhabited of approximately 25 % of marine species. They are very valuable because of their economic attractiveness through tourism and fisheries. A recent economic estimat...

Greenhouse Gases Global Warming
654 wordsOctober Global Warming English 101 October 31, 1998 Global Warming Global Warming is an important ecological issue because it has several negative effects upon our environment. Global Warming, or what has been called the Greenhouse effect, is the result of a fourfold ecological process. 1 -Sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to Earths atmosphere. 2 - The sunlight enters the atmosphere and hits Earth. Some of it turns into heat energy in the form of infrared light. The heat gets absorb...

1,088 wordsGlobal Warming Several issues concerning the environment are brought to the publics attention every year, but none has more of a direct effect on earth and its environment than global warming. Coincidentally it appears to be the least of the populations concern. Global warming is the theory that our planet is getting hotter due to an increase in the greenhouse effect brought about by the increase of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse gase...

Polar Ice Caps Rise In Sea Level
817 wordsGlobal Warming Global Warming, aside from pollution is one of scientists biggest concerns. Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse effect. There are 4 steps in the Greenhouse effect process. The first is, sunlight radiates from the sun, through space, to the Earth s atmosphere. The second is, sunlight enters the atmosphere and hits the Earth. Some of that sunlight turns into heat energy in the form of infrared light. Surrounding air and land, which in turn makes the heat warm, absorbs the hea...

Nitrous Oxide Carbon Dioxide
555 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect Earth is the only planet that we know of that has the right conditions to support life. Because of it s perfect distance from the sun, Earth has an average temperature of 60. F, making it an ideal place for many types of life to thrive in. However, the temperature would not be so ideal if we did not have an atmosphere with certain gasses in it. Without the help of gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and others, the Earths climate would not be suitable for life. Ener...

Flowering Plants Six Inches
2,482 wordsHydroponics: Growing Without Soil The science of growing plants without soil has been known and used for more than one-hundred years. The word hydroponics, however, is comparatively new. Dr. W. E. Gericke is usually given credit for coining the word, which translated from Greek, means working water. The famous hanging gardens of Babylon were probably on of the first attempts to grow plants hydroponically. The work of Dr. Greece in the 1920 s and 1930 s in California, however, is generally consid...

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
1,519 wordsIn environmental science the green house effect is a common term for the role water vapor; carbon dioxide and ozone play in keeping the earths surface warmer than it would normally be. The atmosphere is primarily transparent to infrared radiation from the sun, which is mostly absorbed by the earths surface. The earth being much cooler than the sun, remits radiation most strongly at infrared wavelengths. Water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone then absorb much of this radiation and remit a large pr...
