Carbon Dioxide Emissions Set An Example
1,843 words... in their distribution. There should be a mandated Fossil Fuel Efficiency Standard that would be applied to every generator of electricity in the country. It would set a "nationwide allowance for the average fossil fuel used per unit of energy produced and would also include a schedule of cutting fossil allowances in half over the next twenty years" (213). Afterwards, each year the allowance for fossil fuel to be used would be less from the year before. The companies would be forced to increa...

Oil Companies Crude Oil
900 wordsWhy are we paying so much for gasoline? If you havent noticed you must not drive, but there has been a drastic increase in gas prices in the past year and a half. It seemed like just the other day when I was at the gas station and I said Can I get 20 dollars on pump 3 please? and that would guarantee a full tank of gas. But those were the good old days when gasoline was a low, low, low price of. 99 cents per gallon. 20 dollars has my gauge reaching for the halfway mark on the gas meter. Nowadays...

Animals And Plants Endangered Species
1,691 wordsOne issue that has been a controversy is the preservation of endangered species. Ever since the 1960 's, scientists have been fighting for laws and acts to protect animals and plants in keeping them in good health and their populations high in numbers. The problem is animals and plants are having trouble surviving in today's world which leads them to be classified as endangered or threatened. Endangered, meaning animals or plants with little population that the species could soon become extinct ...

Climate Change And Global Warming Part 1
1,817 wordsClimate Change and Global Warming (1) The problem of Global warming is considered to be one of the most troubling issues of the contemporary era. It has been noticed that the average air temperature in different parts of the world is being on the constant rise, ever since the humanity's existence began to depend more and more on exploitation of fossil fuels. While in 1870 the carbon fuel emissions in the air were almost non-existent, in 2000 their amount has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientis...

At most, the use of pesticides results in twenty extra deaths from cancer per year in the United States (out of a total of 200, 000) equivalent to about 1 percent of the deaths caused by the use of spices like mustard and cinnamon, and about one-hundredth of 1 percent of the deaths caused by natural properties of foods themselves. Proponents of "organic" farming might counter that this is, all the same, unacceptable: though we cannot (or do not wish to) eliminate the risk of ...

Coral Reefs And Algae
1,656 wordsCoral Reefs and Algae Coral reefs are unique ecological systems of the Earth Nature. These systems are very complicated and provide natural balance in the global ocean environment. Unfortunately, the human technological activity impacts coral reefs in the same harmful way as it impacts other ecological systems. Coral reefs are inhabited of approximately 25 % of marine species. They are very valuable because of their economic attractiveness through tourism and fisheries. A recent economic estimat...

Air Pollution Future Generations
1,132 wordsAir Pollution Before dealing with air pollution, a basic definition of pollution must first be made. Pollution has its origins in the Latin word pollute, which means contamination of any feature of the environment (web). Photochemical smog, emissions, chemicals, etc. are all instances of pollutants and most all of them donate to the air pollution dilemma. Almost all air pollutants are the consequence of burning fossil fuels, this could be in the home, by industry or internal combustion engines. ...

Ultraviolet Rays Gamma Rays
343 wordsI went to Hawaii on vacation to get a tan, but I got something else instead. Ultraviolet rays are stronger, and hotter near the equator. When I got home I got x-rays. I was sent for treatment with gamma rays. Wow! What a vacation. It was so hot that I had to jump into a pool just to cool off. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths between 10 nm and 430 nm. They also have a very high frequency of about 10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. - 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 Hz. Photon energy emissions are al...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Science And Technology
1,145 wordsEvery year, Earth s surface receives 1. 73 x 10 17 W of energy from the sun. This is about 15, 000 times as much the human population uses annually (Merritt's 267). Global warming occurs when the levels of greenhouse gasses rise and less infrared light, or heat, escapes the earths atmosphere. Thus, the temperature experienced on Earth begins to rise. Climate change is a part of the Earths history. There have been dramatic fluctuations in overall average temperature for the past 150, 000 years th...

Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide
285 wordsLike the glass in a greenhouse, certain gases that occur naturally in the atmosphere tend to trap the suns heat. This natural " greenhouse effect" helps keep the Earths average temperature at a comfortable 59? Fahrenheit. Without these greenhouse gases, the Earth would be about 0? F, like a deep- frozen snowball. But human activities are causing some greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, to build up in the atmosphere. Whenever we burn fossil fuels (gasoline, oil, coal or natural ga...

Standard Of Living Carbon Dioxide
1,260 wordsThere 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.

Burning Fossil Fuels Average Global Temperature
1,498 wordsGreenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that warms the earth and enables it to support life. Without it, the average temperature on earth would be around - 18 degrees C, instead of the current + 15 degrees C a frozen wilderness. It works on the same principles as the ordinary glass garden greenhouse, where glass allows light to get in, but does not allow for the heat to get out. This makes for a much higher temperature inside the greenhouse. On a planetary scale, similar ...
