We live in a time where nothing has made more of an impact on our daily lives than industrial technology. Everyday our society continues to advance as we attempt to generate the latest and more effective goods and services. When imagining our future world, a high-tech society is the automatic thought that comes to our mind. Ultimately the Earth’s atmosphere has a strong possibility of being endangered due to these high-tech societies and its resources. Earth’s future is sadly looking…...

Ever since June 1973, the world has been devoted to raising awareness about environmental issues. Each year, a day is supported with all its activities, organized by the UNEP. Different themes are chosen each year to raise awareness about a certain environmental issue. (Masry, 2013) Due to the increased adverse effect on climate change, in 1992, policy makers decided to establish the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Along with it, in 1997, a protocol was signed in Japan…...

Ice glaciers are finally awakening, sea levels are rising, forests are dying, and the fate of wildlife becomes the first consequence of earth’s changing climate - and it's become inevitably evident that humans are the root cause of the past century's warming through continuous industrialization and technological advancements to generate our everyday lives of driving, working, and consuming energy; and just within the past century, the planet's average surface temperature has risen since the late 19th century.Heat trapping gases are…...

Walmart is known for being the largest company by revenue with over $500 billion in revenue as of 2018 according to the Fortune Global 500. Walmart has over 11,000 locations worldwide, over 2 million employees, and a supply chain management system that has carried their business to become successful. Retailers like Nordstrom, H&M, and Banana Republic have been lagging due to their lack of inventory control and could learn quite a bit from Walmart. While Walmart enjoys making a hefty…...

Today, in this day and age American democracy is facing a major global catastrophe known as climate change. Climate change is widely defined “as the long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates”. This is attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide that is produced by the use of fossil fuels. Some Americans are oblivious to the drastic effect's climate change has caused. Some even believe that…...

If a country has participated in the Kyoto Protocol, it is expected that data will show a decrease in CO2 levels. Conversely, if a country has not ratified, nor participated will show an increase in CO2 levels.The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The protocol entered into force in 2005, with the aim to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, which are responsible for causing climate change. The focus was mostly, or…...

Climate change means the exchange of heat and mass between land, ocean, ice sheets and atmosphere. The climate slowly changes in its nature but if these changes happen quickly, this can cause severe problems on living organisms and non-living organisms on earth. The rapid change in climate causes increasing amounts of CO2 which cause an increase in temperature. This causes a rise in sea level by melting ice sheets. The global warming also causes harmful effects on the biomass of…...

As we know, Americans are contributing to these problems through climate change. So with all of these people helping out for part of the United States' mistakes, what can the country as a whole do to help out? Different states in America are using different procedures to cut back on greenhouse gases. For example, California is number 1 in the country on the solar market. Over 4.8 million homes in California are being powered by solar energy. They also lead…...

Rangelands forms the largest land cover globally, covering more than one-quarter of the world’s land mass and storing about one-third of the world’s terrestrial C in soils and vegetation (White et al.2000, Asner et al. 2004). The primary economic activity of rangelands is livestock production, supplying meat, dairy products, leather, and wool (Herrero et al. 2009).The productivity and profitability of rangelands is entirely a function of forage quality and quantity (Briskeet al. 2011). On the other hand, these ecosystems have,…...

Global warming is a phenomenon related to nature. It is caused by the accumulation of greenhouse effect, which leads to the imbalance of energy absorbed and emitted by the geo-atmospheric system, and the mass of energy in the geo-atmospheric system, which leads to temperature rise and global warming. Since people burn fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, etc., or cut down forests and burn them, they produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, or greenhouse gases, which are highly permeable to…...

At the head of the industrial revolution, the discovery of fossil fuels meant that humans found an inexhaustible treasure trove of resources that were born out of life that had been trapped inside the ground for countless centuries. The use of fossil fuels resulted in the emission of greenhouse gases (DiMento and Doughman).Greenhouse gas emissions have one very important gas that is implicated in the rapidly escalating climate change i.e. carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide was meant by nature to keep…...

The greenhouse effect, in environmental science, is a popular term forthe effect that certain variable constituents of the Earth's lower atmospherehave on surface temperatures. These gases--water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide(CO2), and methane (CH4)--keep ground temperatures at a global average of about15 degrees C (60 degrees F). Without them the average would be below thefreezing point of H20. The gases have this effect because as incoming solarradiation strikes the surface, the surface gives off infrared radiation, or heat,that the gases trap…...

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…...
