Greenhouse Gases Nitrous Oxide
1,153 wordsIndeed, in my opinion, technology does owe ecology an apology. This is because ecological imbalances were as a result of the Industrial revolution, which could be said to be the beginning of the non-ending technological advancement cycle. During Industrial revolution, we began altering or climate and environment through changing agricultural and industrial practices. Before the industrial revolution, human activity released very few gases into the atmosphere, but now through population growth fo...

2 H 2 O Carbon Monoxide
1,607 words1. State the five assumptions of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases. a) Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These particles, usually molecules or atoms, typically occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than occupied by the same number of particles in the liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are much further apart than those of liquids or solids. Most of the volume occupied by a gas is empty space. This accounts for the lower density of gases compared to liquids and so...

Back Into Space Greenhouse Gases
2,020 wordsIn my seminar work I will try to explain you what is happening to global climate, which are the consequences and what can we do to stop changing our climate. Humans are heating the planet. Official confirmation for that came in 1995, when the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the official scientific body established in 1988 by the UN to investigate climate change - published its Second Assessment Report, written and reviewed by some 2 000 scientists. A consensus now undeniably ex...

Carbon Dioxide Methane Renewable Energy Sources
1,623 wordsBy the middle of the twenty first century, there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history, and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs, some 65 billion years ago. If we stay at the rate we our now (fossil fuel consumption / growth in population) then within the next two century the Earth's air might not be fit to breath. Many people in the world do not think that this is a major concern and that it is normal for the Earth's temperature to incr...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Global Climate Change
1,790 wordsKyoto Protocol According to the basic theory of microeconomics, mutually beneficial trades are possible with the presence of marginal abatement costs differences. In terms of the trades of pollution permits, the level of pollution remains the same as when it is regulated by law; but the amount spent on pollution control is lower. Thus, we say that the practice of tradable pollution permits increases efficiency. With the aim to protect the global commons of the earths atmosphere, the obligations ...

Environmental Protection Agency Greenhouse Gases
2,129 wordsGlobal Warming: What Does Our Future Hold? During the course of the twentieth century, many environmental scientists have become increasingly confident that the average global temperature has elevated. Although global warming is still a highly controversial theory, the facts have compelled scientists, politicians and the environmentally conscious to take a closer look at the statistics. Periodic global warming conferences take place around the world to discuss various environmental topics. Globa...

Burning Fossil Fuels Natural Greenhouse Effect
3,312 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect, as defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earths atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. Even though this process occurs naturally and has kept the Earths temperature about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would otherwise be, current life on Earth could not be sustained with...

Chlorofluorocarbons Cfcs Sulphur Dioxide
3,209 wordsSpace: Pollution is a Global Responsibility The statement says that pollution is a global responsibility, but first of all, in order to understand the statement and therefore argue the points of view, we must state what can be defined as Pollution. The Oxford dictionary states that to pollute an area is to Destroy the purity or sanctity of; make foul or filthy; contaminate or defile There are many types of pollution that effect the environment on the universal scale and also on the microcosmic s...
