article, “Urban Sprawl, Global Warming and the Limits of Ecological Modernization” (Gonzalez G.A. 2005), the author examines the deficiency of the business groups’ approach to solving the climate change. According to Gonzalez’s opinion, because of the booming of automobile industry during the urban sprawl, the higher emissions of greenhouse gases worsen the climate change. The author notes that both WBCSD and ICC insist that technology is a feasible method to solving the global warming, whereas the author

more trees are being cut down to meet the needs of people.Deforestation has further triggered the greenhouse effect. This is due to the decreasing amount of oxygen being produced everyday by the trees on planet Earth. This will cause the increase in carbon dioxide which traps heat energy from the Sun. This will eventually cause Global Warming which affects the whole world. When Global Warming gets out of control, the icebergs in the North and South poles starts to melt and cause a increase in sea level

take care of our well-being. We fluctuate in ways because nature does not need wealth to survive. Also, we have altered the air by polluting it with our transportation and factories. Nature wouldn’t put this burden onto itself and possibly create global warming. In contrary, if we did not have certain properties in nature, would humans be able to survive? Food and Water Nature allows humans to live our day to day lives on earth. It provides us with water, oxygen, and other vital essentials for us

the Canadian government has a plan for the future effects of climate change many other sources have discussed how Canada is not ready for what is to come. Research has uncovered that while canada is doing lots of things to help prevent climate change they aren’t doing a lot to prepare for the negative effects of climate change that they are too late to prevent. So far the Canadian government has done many things to help avoid the negative effects of climate change. They have joined in on the paris

The Global Climate Coalition (GCC), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and environmentalists suggest answers to these problems. This essay argues that some solutions work more effectively to these focusing on climate change, loss of land and negative impacts on public health. Climate change forms a serious threat to the environment, urban sprawl has resulted in serious emission of greenhouse gases as more cars are used which requires more energy use. Then, more and more global warming

Global warming means the rise in the mean global temperature to a level which affects the life-forms on the earth surface. The factors responsible for this warming may be both natural and man made. Warming of the globe due to natural factors is not an unusual phenomenon. The earth's climate is variable. For example, about 18,000 years ago, the earth was about 5°C cooler than it is today. That was the last glacial period on the earth. There after, the global temperature began to rise. The earth

The climate change war. “Is global warming indeed caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases or by natural variations”? (Pigliucci, M. (2010), 134) The controversy is that global warming is not just a scientific matter, it also correlates with sociology, individual’s lifestyle, but above all, politics. (Maslin, Mark (2004) Global Warming: A Very Short Introduction, Oxford: OUP.) According to Pigliuci [Pigliucci, M. (2010), 141] Since science is constantly changing with their predictions, how do

few health issues that have been connected to water and air pollution. Pollution is defined as the releasing of harmful products or substances into the environment (Webster Dictionary, 2013). Pollution causes negative changes in the environment that effect plant and animal life, sources of water, and the ozone layer. Nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide are two types of air pollutants. Pesticides and waste run- off from factories, refineries, and waste treatment facilities are two types of water pollutants
