Plant And Animal Nitrous Oxide
1,631 wordsThe destruction of the rainforests is one of the most crucial environmental issues of our time. It is also one of the most misunderstood and neglected. There has been so much propaganda and publicity attached to this crisis that Save the Rainforests is becoming almost as clich as Save the Whales. Why dont we take this problem more seriously? Is it because we, as Americans, simply dont understand the devastating, long-terms consequences that continued deforestation of the rainforests would have? ...

Greenhouse Gases Global Warming
1,471 wordsGlobal warming is not a myth it is a fact. It has been proven that the temp has gone up in the last 2 decades. Yes, it is possible to stop it and even fix it. At the rate we are going it will be the same as it was in 1980 by 2050. Yes I think that global warming is a fact to be reckoned with. But I agree with both sides because both are right each in their own way. It is proven that the earth has been cooling down over the last 6, 000 years since the Holocene Maximum. That is a fact! But there a...

Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse Effect
412 wordsIs 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...

Global Warming A Deadly Threat For Human Life
1,510 wordsGlobal warming is one of the major environmental issues facing the world today. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. An increase in the temperature of the Earths surface may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. One cause for Global Warming is called the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect results from a four step process. First, sunl...

2,167 wordsAlternative Fuel Vehicles You Can Buy Today From the earliest days of the automotive industry alternative fuels have always competed with petroleum for powering vehicles. Nicholas Cugnot made the first self-powered road vehicle in 1769 with a steam engine, and the first gasoline automobile didn't appear until over 100 years later from Karl Benz. Through the late 19 th and early 20 th century steam and electric power remained strong contenders. The invention of the self-starter for gasoline engin...

The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earths surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and it is creating many problems that will begin to occur in the near future. For the last 10, 000 years, the Earths climate has been extraordinarily beneficial to mankind. Human...

1,295 wordsThe importance of the greenhouse effect was just conceived in the mid-twentieth century. "For billions of years, cosmic forces shaped Earth, and land and air coevolve at an almost inconceivably slow pace to create a climate in which human beings and other creatures could flourish. " (Francesca Lyman). Now, for the first time, humanity has the power to change the global climate. By releasing the huge amounts of carbon stored in fossil fuels over millions of years, we are distorting the natural ca...

Effects Of Global Warming
1,052 words... weather is hot and more humid than usual. Hotter temperatures and more rain in different areas will cause more heat and humid weather. This will allow mosquitoes to find new places to love and spread the diseases. "Mosquito-borne diseases are being reported for the first time at high elevations in Asia, Central Africa, and Latin America. An increase in winter temperatures, which tend to limit the distribution of insect populations, may be increasing mosquito survival rates and contributing t...

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 Infrared Radiation
431 wordsGreenhouse Effect Greenhouse Effect, term for the role the atmosphere plays in insulating and warming the earths surface. The atmosphere is pretty much transparent to incoming solar radiation. When this radiation strikes the earths surface, some of it is absorbed, warming the earths surface. Earth s surface emits some of this energy back out in the form of infrared radiation. As this infrared radiation travels through the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by atmospheric gases like carbon dioxid...

2,227 wordsThe Greenhouse Effect Issue Statement While some people believe the earths climatic changes are due to the fact that the universe is getting older, others believe it is due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a naturally occuring phenomenon that is responsible for trapping heat near the earths surface and keeping the planet warm. It is called the greenhouse effect because the way it works is similar to the way in which a green house functions. In a greenhouse sunlight passes throu...
