Global emissions of greenhouse gases jumped 2.3 percent in 2013 to record levels, scientists reported Sunday, in the latest indication that the world remains far off track in its efforts to control global warming. The emissions growth last year was a bit slower than the average growth rate of 2.5 percent over the past decade, and much of the dip was caused by an economic slowdown in China, which is the world’s single largest source of emissions. It may take an additional year or two to know if

have an impact on the biological diversity or health of the environment, in many ways. The food waste is thrown away and makes it into landfills it rots and creates methane gases. These methane gases create a “potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide” ,according to the EPA(2013). The positive side of food waste if properly recycled is can be turned into compost and help improve soil by increasing the drought resistance and reducing the need for additional fertilizers

Global warming and climate change can both refer to the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming. More than 90% of the additional energy stored in the climate system since 1970 has gone into ocean warming; the remainder has melted ice, and warmed the continents and atmosphere. Many of the observed changes since the 1950s are unprecedented over decades

Global Warming Anita Orzel Southern New Hampshire University Global Warming The earth has undergone periodic changes known as global cooling, and global warming. Today’s global warming is unique, due to human influences. American people should be concerned, as the world's scientific experts agree that industrial and land use activities are having an unfavorable impact on global warming. Burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gasoline cause buildup in greenhouse gasses, in addition, deforestation

the size of Panama City. According to Bradford, A. “about half of the world’s tropical forests have been cleared. Forests currently cover about 30 percent of the world’s land mass. Forest loss contributes between 6 percent and 12 percent of annual global carbon dioxide emissions, and about 36 football fields worth of tress lost every minute.” Deforestation is not completely caused by humans. Deforestation can be a natural factor in the wildlife such as forest fires or subsequent overgrazing which

change: helping nature survive the human response," looks at efforts to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and potential action that could be taken by people to adapt to a changed climate and assesses the potential impact that these could have on global ecosystems. In particular it notes that one fifth of the world's remaining tropical forests lie within 50 kilometers of human populations that could be inundated if sea levels rise by 1 meter. These forests would make attractive sources of fuel-wood

our lives more important than saving the Earth from extermination? This is the clash between ecocentrics and technocentrics in our environmental philosophical world. Ecological issues, in my opinion, must be addressed in the contemporary world as a global concern. Instead of innovating technology, we should prioritize on protecting our environment. I reckon we must generate awareness by organizing environmental campaigns that regard previous human-error disasters such as Chernobyl in Ukraine. Copious
