Global Warming Is A Serious Issue That Should Have
Immediate Attention As Vice President Al Gore has
said about the threat of global warming, it is
"the most serious problem our civilization faces"
(2). It has become quite an issue internationally
because of the threat of increasing greenhouse
gasses. It is these gasses, when released into the
air, accumulate and then trap the heat inside our
atmosphere. Our climate is greatly affected by
this. Therefore, affecting all of the organisms on
earth,...

As time approaches the 21 st century, the
automobile has become our major source of mass
transportation. Everything about our culture and
society has developed around this necessary form
of travel. However, along with this necessity
comes the issue of pollution to the environment.
These great gasoline powered vehicles have
contributed greatly to the impurity of our
environment. The two prominent alternative fueled
vehicles yet brought up are the Electric car (EV)
and the Hybrid electric car (HEV...

... would dissolve the polymers in the fuel of
current automobile engines, but there is a way
around this problem by hydrogenating the ketones
to their corresponding alcohols. This hydrogen
could be generated from natural gas or other
renewable resources. Another significant advantage
of fuels derived from waste biomass is that they
are a way to control global warming caused by the
combustion of fossil fuels. The carbon dioxide
released from the combustion of biomass is
balanced through photosyn...

Lead Acid Battery Daimler Chrysler

Environmental demand for cleaner air has put a
heavy burden on the automobile, much improved by
stringent exhaust stands but still a significant
source of pollution. High cost, technological
obstacles and the resistance of the public to
abandon gasoline have deterred the discovery of
new cleaner alternative fuels to help 5 the
environment. Electric Vehicles are the cleanest
burning of the alternative fuel vehicles now
available. They are an efficient way to utilize
fossil fuels (oil and natural ...

... ironically enough, oil refining. But hydrogen,
like gasoline, must be manufactured: it bonds so
easily with other elements that it doesn't exist
naturally on Earth in pure form. The trouble is
that while gasoline is sold in 200, 000 filling
stations across the US, the hydrogen
infrastructure is minuscule. The result is a
chicken-and-egg dilemma: What manufacturers will
market hydrogen-powered cars if hydrogen isn't
available to drivers? What hydrogen producers will
build more plants if hydro...

Released Into The Atmosphere Greenhouse Gases
958 words
Global warming is an increase in the earth's
temperature due to fossil fuels, industry, and
agricultural processes caused by human, natural,
and other gas emissions. (Melissa Phillips). This
results in an increased emission of greenhouse
gases. (Caroline Quatman). Short-wave solar
radiation sinks into the Earth's atmosphere and
warms its surface; while longwave infrared
radiation emitted by earth's surface is absorbed,
and then re-emitted by trace gases. (Brent C.
Willhoite) Climate changes occu...

In 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

Using energy Now people used a lot of energy for
their requirement. It makes a lot of pollution,
and it is endangering people now. Most of the
pollution comes from burning fossil fuels and
coal. Smog from burning fossil fuels and coal can
pollute the atmosphere and the air. Vile smelling,
smog were common in winter in most industrial
towns until the 1950 s. It caused by burning coal
which produced smog and fumes. Seriously smog

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
global disaster, and we have only one Earth to
experiment on. Michael Oppenheimer, Senior

How Acid Rain Develops, Spreads, and Destroys Acid
rain is environmentally damaging rainfall that
occurs after fossil fuels burn, releasing nitrogen
and sulphur oxides into the atmosphere. Acid rain,
simply stated, increases the acidity level of
waterways because these nitrogen and sulphur
oxides combine with the air? s normal rainfall.
Acid rain is a silent threat because its effects,
although slow, are cumulative. This analysis
explains the cause, the distribution cycle, and
the effects of aci...

Debate Topic: Fossil Fuels and Alternative Sources
Most people in this world but especially in the U.
S. think that fossil fuels are never ending.
However, they are wrong and completely take them
for granted. Therefore, if they do not try to use
and find other sources for energy soon then fossil
fuels will become extent. So I have taken it upon
myself to look into other sources of energy and
give my viewpoint about them. I looked into a
couple alternative sources. First, technology and

Earth Surface Stop Global Warming

In the last century, the earth? s surface
temperature has increased 0. 45 - 0. 60 degrees
celsius. Although some scientists believe global
warming is not a problem, many scientists believe
that global warming is a serious problem, and can
not be ignored. Global warming, as the term
implies, is the increasing temperature of earth. A
factor that is believed to play a part in this is
the greenhouse effect, which is the effect in
which greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide
allow incoming solar r...

rainforests, and the consumption of all of our
planets natural resources are just a few. None of
these issues quite compare to the problem of
global warming. Global warming is a problem that

everyone. People must take action to stop global

Burning Of Fossil Fuels Source Of Energy

Hydrogen: The Energy Source of the Future There
have been many stories in the newspapers, on TV
and on the radio about the state that our planet
is in, and most of the time they are not too
positive. We hear about pollution, and global
warming most frequently, which are both caused
mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. Because of
this, organizations and governments have started
to invest money in researching alternate forms of
energy that are less polluting and that do not

The Importance of Oil In U. S. Foreign Policy
Introduction During the oil and energy crisis of
the mid- 1970 s Americans became painfully aware
of the consequences of the United States
dependence on foreign sources of oil.
Unfortunately, research and exploration for
alternative sources of oil in North America has
not been pursued vigorously enough to cease such
foreign dependence. As a result, in the mid- 1990
s Americans find themselves in the same precarious
position as they were during the 19...
