The planet that we currently live on has been around for almost five billion years. In that time it has done a lot for its inhabitants. It’s given us natural resources and given us the ability to multiply and fill the planet. We as a race are constantly helping advance the earth’s natural decay by polluting the air around us. We also have helped in progressing global warming which is taking away other habitats for other species. We as a…...

Jacques Cousteau; a French undersea explorer and researcher once said, 'Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.' Many of the plastics humans use in their daily life most likely will be used and thrown away carelessly. Today pounds of plastic can be found swirling around the ocean, making up about 40 percent of the world's ocean surface.

Abstract In the past few decades, the world has experienced several instances of extreme temperature changes. Such periods, especially when the change is a significant rise, are what are referred to as Heat waves. They sometimes are accompanied by high humid conditions especially when the regions affected are characterized by an oceanic climate. Temperature measures have to be gauged in relation to the conditions which are considered normal in order to establish the presence of a heat wave (Robinson, Peter…...

I don't know why nuclear energy has a bad rap, mainly it is because there are misconceptions about the safety of it and when people are uneducated they tend to fight against what is actually very beneficial. Nuclear energy is energy that is released either by splitting atomic nuclei or by forcing the nuclei of atoms together. Nuclear energy comes from mass-to-energy transitions that occur during atom splitting. This explains the well-known mathematical formula of Albert Einstein E = mc2.…...
