20 years ago, Russia and the energy-rich countries of Central Asia, such as Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus, were all united, as parts of the Soviet Union. Moscow would have had unfettered access to their oil and gas reserves. But the Central Asian states realise one of their greatest strategic strengths as independent countries is playing off the big global powers now scrambling to buy their precious energy supplies. So, Moscow now finds itself in fierce

Carbon is an element stored in fossil fuels such as coal and oil. When these fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released and acts as what we term a "greenhouse gas". Similarly, oxides of Carbon and Nitrogen which are released on account of incomplete combustion also are Green-house gases. Methane or Natural gas liberated is also a green house Gas. These Green house gases form a blanket over the earth surface thus trapping and preventing the heat from escaping the earth’s surface, thus resulting in

public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The term "global warming" is a specific example of the broader term climate change, which can also refer to global cooling. In common usage, the term refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. The detailed causes of the recent

Environmental Effects of Global Warming The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse

If we keep producing the things that help strengthen global warming we’ll just make matters worse than they should be. For example, numerous people think that the most destructive effects of global warming can be prevented if we sustain greenhouse gas emissions between four hundred fifty and five hundred fifty parts per million (Global). Our present emissions are around three hundred eighty parts per million, meaning we don’t have any time to waste (Global). We will have to diminish
