I think that the problem is that CO2 pollution because it is the highest it has been for hundreds of years. This world is going to be inherited by us so we need to keep it clean. Also the air is becoming more and more toxic as we reach higher and higher levels of CO2. My solution is a two part plan. Part one of two is instituting a carbon fee like Microsoft has created to become carbon neutral these funds can be pulled from by families in need of financial aid for this tax to get less energy consuming more efficient models. Part two of two is using percentages of the tax to do research on nano-bots that take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and buying clean energies like wind power and solar panels.
How I am connected.
My connection to this is through my friends and family because the world is being affected by carbon dioxide more than before with ocean acidification and cities declared unfit for life. This is the world me and my friends will inherit and I don’t want it to be some sort of poorly cared for world but a clean well cared for world. The CO2 emissions are becoming major things in the US and China as they pollute millions of tonnes a year of carbon dioxide. The connection I have to this came up when I heard how bad our air was getting a couple years ago.
I haven’t really gotten into this until now but that was a major help in my research because I already had the basics down for carbon dioxide pollution. Although I had no connections before I now realize that
Another problem is transportation; cars, planes, trucks, and other vehicles emit various greenhouse gases when in use, or when idling. I would create more solar-powered cars, and if possible, wind-cars, or other cars that run using renewable sources. I would also increase the prices of gas, to discourage people from buying it. However, this would be very, very expensive, and the fuel companies would not agree with the
One hundred years ago the world shared one thing in common, experiencing the world’s first war. Many factors that go into the war or had an influence on it had their own specific role. Trench warfare was a common type of fighting where both troops would build their own trenches in order to protect themselves from their enemy on other side separated by no man’s land. Trenches were a key part of the battleground during World War I and became the home and final location for millions of soldiers. Trenches were necessary for American troops survival in World War I because they were an effective form of protection and defense, and were built to prevent injuries and/or deaths.
Have you ever wondered how many people there are in the world? This beautiful place called earth is home to billions of humans, and human-kind is not alone. Although at times we may forget that we have several different species living with us, not only do different species live with us but they are part of the circle of life that is the root of our existence. For many years’ people have been releasing excessive amounts of CO2 into the earth, with little to no consideration of the effects it may have on surrounding environments. Exploiting natural resources to leave nothing behind except for oil spills and other environmentally dangerous components. Corporations need to be held to higher expectations with more regulations, there needs to be a government that will enforce these regulations. Who decides our government? People do, local communities vote for who runs their city, state, and country. Communities can help spread awareness and demand cleaner energy, stricter laws, and reduce their carbon footprint.
Our lives involve the emission of theses dangerous greenhouse gases (Bushnell 25). Carbon dioxide has increased to
On Monday, March 18, 2013 teacher Eric Skogen ripped 10 year old Roger Parkinson's ear off. To Parkinson it was going to be just another day in Mr. Skogen’s English class. But what he didn’t know was that Skogen was having a rough day. Parkinson was on his way to English class when students from the class before stopped him in the hall to warn him that Skogen was not in a good mood. Parkinson did not think much of it and continued on his way to class.
Daily activities that contribute to the increase of CO2 is consuming electricity, transportation, building, etc. We could start conserving more energy ourselves, such as using hybrid cars and using solar power. Finding other ways to get our energy in a more earth friendly would help.
Climate change, specifically in reference to C02 Emissions released by human use of fossil fuels and their consequential effects on the environment, is perhaps one of the most pressing issues we, not just as Americans, but as human beings face in our lifetimes. Though it may sound like a sensationalist statement the facts are hard to deny. In May of 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Global warming and climate change attributed to increased emission of greenhouse gases have continued to be pressing issues in today’s society since they threaten the stability of the climate, population, and economy of the world (“Meeting the Energy Challenge”, 2007). The challenges associated with global warming and climate change is attributed to the fact that 75 percent of world’s carbon dioxide
Because of its large quantity, consistency and affordability, {coal produces nearly 40 percent of the nation's electricity, resulting in electricity expenses that generally are 30 percent lower in states that depend upon coal for over half of the electricity generation as opposed to states that rely on alternative fuels.} This is all nice and dandy until one takes at closer look at the process of retrieving this as well the end results. Miners risking their lives to dig it, then the pollution it creates while in use… is it really all pros? No of course not, past presidential candidate Mitt Romney says otherwise, on August 30th, 2012 he states “First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal
Global warming has been a controversial topic for years and some have even denied its existence; however, as more studies are being published every day in regards to our changing climate, it is hard to ignore this growing issue and how humans contribute to it. The term greenhouse gases refers to the group of gases that are primarily responsible for global warming and chief among these gases is carbon dioxide. Rising carbon dioxide levels can be attributed to a combination of burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum as well as deforestation in general ( Source A). To slow the effects of global warming, it is important for leaders in our society to consider their greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, and make
On the bright side, there are things we can do. This issue is a result of our lack of action, our lifestyles, and our way of living. Many people want to help, but are not even sure where to begin. One-way thing that we can do is to reduce the amount of co2 in our atmosphere. There are simple changes we can make in our daily routines to get started in doing that.
by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the
To overcome this problem though sustainable forestry could be taken into consideration, where for every tree cut down one or even two new trees are planted. The best way of reducing the output of carbon dioxide is to reduce the amount of fuel which being burnt, by exploring other ways of producing energy such as using wind turbines or solar panels. Encouraging people to become more energy efficient helps too, by buying washing machines, refrigerators and other machines that are more energy efficient. Newer washing machines consume a third of the amount of energy compared to the models made 15 years ago.
Air pollution in the form of carbon dioxide also increases the earth’s temperature; climate changes expand the production of air pollutants. People are trying to put things in order so there is less air pollution and it will not have a big impact on climate change. Airborne pollutants are contributing to global climate change; air pollution can create a disastrous outcome for the nation. Cutting carbon pollution right now so the next generation will not inherit the climate changes would be a good start. President Obama created a plan to address this problem. Thinking Obama's Clean Power Plan would make the issue better it made the issue a bigger dispute between companies because it would be expensive (Adams
In response to the protests against capital punishment, supporters of the law have been outspoken about the positive economic and social effects it has on the nation. Victims’ rights activists, traditionalists, and 80% of the Republican Party is in favor of capital punishment. Victim’s rights activists believe that families of victims that were murdered should be able to decide whether or not the killer deserves to live or die because they took that right away from their family member. Traditionalists have the mindset that execution has been around as long as we can remember, so why change something that has worked? And the states in the southern region are more conservative, and majority of the states in that region are the ones that still have capital punishment in place.
