key to this newly-discovered feedback is aerosol tiny reflective particles suspended within the air that are known by experts to have a huge impact on climate. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation from the earth and release it back into the atmosphere as heat, causing the planet to warm up over time.

Environmental Protection and Global Wellness Journal Assignment This course affects my understanding on environmental issues because the “greenhouse effect” or as “global climate change,” is widely recognized as one of the most important issues on the current international environmental agenda. Although the extent and timing of effects are uncertain, climate change is thought to have effects for parks including food and water supplies, energy production, ecosystem, species survival, human health

increase in the usage of energy from fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased as well, approximately thirty-one percent since 1870. Furthermore, these fuels are detrimental to the planet. In fact, they are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases. The burning of fossil fuels adds up to six gigatons (one billion tons) of carbon to the atmosphere every year. Within the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are the facet responsible for global warming and climate change. Gases

and most upcoming issues that the world has to face nowadays is global warming. Many scientists that study this matter, manifest that our contribution to the production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is having a heating effect on our atmosphere; in other words, they are stating that we humans are somewhat responsible for this issue. This essay will analyze three causes: the lack of evidence, how long has it been happening and finally, how responsible are we? To start off, the lack of

sun is a free and renewable source of energy. With the use of the photovoltaic system, there is hardly any bills to pay on the contrary there are money to collect, as the State buys the energy that is left. Reduction of Carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere, preventing health problem such as asthma, allergies, and respiratory diseases can also be lessened as the quality of air we breathe is better. So its substance content is of anthropogenic origin. Improving air quality is a key issue in protecting

Abstract Ventilation of underground mines is required to dilute and remove hazardous gases, control heat and provide oxygen for workers and machinery. Kahatagaha- Kolongaha mines, Dodamgaslanda was selected for the present study as it was restarted recently and therefore very little research has been done on air quantity and quality of the mine. The objectives of this research are to make a proposal to rectify the existing ventilation system and to upgrade the existing airflow system with modifications

emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels.” These things all have to do with letting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is one of the major reasons of temperatures getting warmer. “Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began.” Another factor in climate change is the release of Methane into the atmosphere. Decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, as well as digestion and manure management connected with domestic livestock
