Global climate change – intensifying climate change caused the implementations of the Kyoto Protocol which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (BBC, 2005). This resulted in the implementation of less-polluting production processes (Orange, 2012) and investment in technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (MCC, 1995). * Ozone Depletion - ever greater destruction of the ozone layer led to the establishment of the Clean Air Act and Montreal Protocol which caused that most manufacturers

of energy considering the increasing demand for cheap, clean and reliable energy from developing countries such as India and China. Though there are technologies capable of supplying this energy these energy sources come at the expense of increased ozone damaging CO2 emissions. CO2 emissions are believed to be a significant contributor to the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate known as global warming. In the United States electric power plants emit about 2.2 billon tons of carbon

gases cause air pollution. They can cause several kinds of air pollution, particular matter, smog, and ozone (New Energy Alternative, 2008). Air pollution can travel thousands of miles and can harm areas that burn fossil fuels sparingly. The next nonsustainable practice is the use of toxic cleaning solvents. The release of toxic chemicals from the spent cleaners can cause damage to the ozone layer. This contributes to the greenhouse effect that causes global warming. Global warming raises the

Chapter 2 ENERGY CONVERSION AND GENERAL ENERGY ANALYSIS W hether we realize it or not, energy is an important part of most aspects of daily life. The quality of life, and even its sustenance, depends on the availability of energy. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the sources of energy, the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the ramifications of these conversions. Energy exists in numerous forms such as thermal, mechanical, electric, chemical

effects of climate change is drought, which results into the growing need of food sustainability in many areas of a country. It adversely affects the students’ learning and other performances in the school. Naturally, drought and natural disasters reduce the opportunities of the students to acquire knowledge from the schools; since there is always postponement of classes whenever there is a strong typhoon and flood occurs in the country. Moreover, during disasters, many families do not have source

Pollution From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Pollution (disambiguation). The litter problem on the coast of Guyana, 2010 Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point

THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CONVERTER ASSEMBLY The exhaust system converter for hydrogen engines plays a very vital role in the reduction of the amount of water vapor emitted into the environment. This assembly could be installed in hydrogen cars to cool vapors converting it to water and may be preserved for drinking. Therefore, the converter converts as much vapor as possible into water and returning condensed water into tank. It could also be safe to drink this water if collected in a clean non-corrosive

The United States of America prides itself on its democratic government, but the power of the federal government today threatens American democracy. The federal government should grant states more powers to govern themselves. States' Rights advocated the strict limitation of the advantages of the federal government to those powers assigned to it in the Constitution of the United States, and reserving to the several states all other powers not explicitly forbidden them. The government has many important

from a reduction in pollution to carbon capture. Geoengineering is a relatively new idea in the field of science which “describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earth’s energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change.” (Bracmort et all., 2011: 1) The vast majority of technology is nascent and at a theoretical stage but it has the potential to affect populations and climate on a global scale.
