    Global Warming: Cause and Mitigation

    increase in greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere, increase in atmospheric aerosols, and changes in land use, for instance, through cutting down of forests to create farms. The increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes an increase in the amount of heat that is being retained and consequently, increasing the temperatures on the earth’s surface significantly. For example, the amount of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere

    human activities such as leakage from natural gas systems and the raising of livestock. Natural processes in soil and chemical reactions in the atmosphere help remove CH4 from the atmosphere. Methane's lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide (CO2), but CH4 is more efficient at trapping radiation than CO2. Pound for pound, the comparative impact of CH4 on climate change is over 20 times greater than CO2over a 100-year period. Globally, over 60% of total CH4 emissions come from

    Pollution In Texas

    Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and other air pollution collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Currently, the state of Texas ranks number one in the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the air, toxic chemicals released into the water, and the amount of hazardous waste generated. As a result, the number one issue in Texas today, is the amount the state as a whole is contributing to the worsening of global warming/pollution
