Issues In Today Global Automotive Industry
1,231 wordsWhat are the most important characteristics of the global environment in the automobile industry, especially those opportunities and threats faced by the top players in the industry? Why so? If a list was made of the top economic sectors with the greatest influence on the American economy, one could make a strong argument for including the automotive industry. A prime example of the validity of that claim was evinced when durable goods, such as cars, made up over 90 % of the spike in consumption...

Rise In Sea Level Carbon Dioxide
633 wordsThe global warming is caused by emissions of over 20 gases into the atmosphere. The major contributors are carbon dioxide (CO 2), ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Although these gases are produced by many industrial processes, the major source is the burning of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces and automobile engines. When released into the air in large quantities, these gases cause the earths atmosphere to warm by trapping the suns heat. Infrared radiation that woul...

Green House Effect Carbon Dioxide
1,108 wordsGLOBAL WARMING Dear grandpa, Do you aware that our grand children and great children may be the victim of global warming during the next century? In 1986, the Swedish chemist state Arrhenius first revealed the theory that carbon emissions from the burning of coal and other fossil fuels could generate a green house effect by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere leading to global warming. Electro magnetic energy emanating from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth, which radiates some of this energy o...
