In 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...

In 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 words
The 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...

In 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...

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

Global 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...

The 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...

Hydroponics: 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

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer

In 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...
