Carbon Dioxide Emissions Amount Of Carbon Dioxide
689 words
The consequences of global warming have by now
come to the attention of the majority of the
population of the United States of America. The
gradual warming of the earths atmosphere is due to
an increased amount of carbon dioxide released
into it. The burning of fossil fuels, oil, coal,
and natural gas are the main activities that
release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Americans add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
every time they drive their car, use a chainsaw,
or use electricity produced ...

... to be correct." I think this is very foolish
considering that the earth will naturally warm up
again, and when it does that it will warm up a
little more than it was before. But what I think
Dr. Landscheidt is are saying is that it does not
need to be dealt with so fast because the planet
will cool down more. So we can do it slower and
spend less money on it. But we do not know if the
greenhouse effect will overpower the natural
effects. Unfortunately, this scenario of normal

visual magnitudes (brightness) of - 4. 4, making
it the brightest object in the night sky,

Earth's twin, a swampy place with oceans and

Beverly Hills, CA private investigator Tom Grant,
a 49 -year-old grandfather of seven and seven year
veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Department, hardly falls into the demographic of
the average Nirvana fan. So it's not surprising
that when, on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994,
Courtney Love hired him to track down her husband
Kurt Cobain's missing credit card, he initially
thought little of the assignment. "I knew vaguely
who Nirvana was. " the PI has said. Grant was

The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect For the past ten
thousand years the earth's climate has been
extremely good and beneficial to mankind. Today
however, major changes are taking place. Humans
beings are changing the face of the entire planet
by destroying the rain forests and pumping our
pollutants into the air and water. Some of these
gases are very toxic and they are destroying our
ozone layers which allows life to exist on earth
These things are changing the make-up of the

Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless,
non-toxic, and slightly acid-tasting gas.
Sometimes referred to as a carbonic acid gas, the
molecule consists of one atom of carbon joined to
two atoms of oxygen. It occurs naturally in the
atmospheres of many planets, including that of
earth. Carbon dioxide is uniformly distributed
over the earths surface at a concentration of
about 0. 033 %, or 330 parts per million. It was
called fixed air by the Scottish chemist and
physician Joseph Black in the 1750 ...

Global Warming We have an obligation to weigh the
risks of inaction against the cost of action. In
that regard, global warming is no different than
any other problem. But global warming is novel in
one respect. It brings with it the possibility of

experiment on. Michael Oppenheimer, Senior

everywhere. Any species cannot live everywhere
because this would effect the natural balance.
Also one species cannot adapt to all the different
environments of our planet. For example a marine

on ground. 2. Explain how the activities of some
species can lead to: a) an increase b) a decrease
in the population size of another species. Some
species act as population controllers of other
species. There must...

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases

Many people disagree on the issue concerning
global warming. Some believe that human
activities, various forms of polluting, are the
main cause of global warming. Others think that
not only have humans not affected the planet by
any significant amount, but that not much global
warming has even occurred. Many scientists think
that pollution is the cause of global warming and
the greenhouse effect. There is a lot of evidence
to support this theory. In the United States
alone, almost 15, 000 pounds...

Global warming refers to the increase in average
ground temperatures on earth. These higher
temperatures across the planet are caused by an
intensification of the greenhouse effect. Before
recent scientific inquiries into this phenomenon,
the greenhouse Effect simply referred to the
natural process by which the earths atmosphere
traps heat and warms the planet to a livable
temperature. This heat trapping, however, has
begun to escalate to possibly dangerous levels.
Scientists have attributed thi...

Global warming is also commonly referred to as the

There is little doubt that the airs carbon dioxide
concentrations have been increasing since the
Industrial Revolution and there are few who do not
attribute this increase to the rise in humanity's
use of fossil fuels. There is also little dispute
that the earth has warmed slightly over the same
period. During our interview Adam told me that he

and feels great animosity towards critics of this
