Crops such as wheat and rice grow well in high temperatures, while plants such as maize and sugarcane prefer cooler climates. Changes in rainfall patterns will also affect how well plants and crops grow. The effect of a change in the weather on plant growth may lead to some countries not having enough food. Brazil, parts of Africa, south-east Asia and China will be affected the most and many people could be affected by hunger. All across the world, there is
There is no ideal way to overcome the problem of waste disposal, all options in waste management have their own impact mainly emissions from landfilling. Landfilling accounted for almost 5% of total global emissions of greenhouses gas that has an impact 20 times higher than carbon dioxide. The use of proper waste management can make a major contribution towards a sustainable future. Creating a strategy for the prevention of waste is the most important thing. A country without a strategy will not
One of the main global challenges in the year to come is therefore reduce the co2 emission. Greenhouse gas is nothing like H2 or N2 gas. Greenhouse gas is a mixture of many gases. This GHG is necessary to reduce because there are affecting natures of environment, activity of human life. The physical and chemical reactions such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are not greenhouse gases. This because molecules containing two atoms of molecules such as Ar have no net change
air pollutants and greenhouse gasses collect in the atmosphere and
Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
electric and eliminate pollution partially. Another example would be to use renewable energy. I don’t know how to convert waste into energy but let's use that energy to run power plants and big machine factories that need coal or fossil fuels. In a good effect it would eliminate the trash build up. As said in the article by (Tamara Thompson) the renewable energy industry is more labor-intensive. This means that, on average, more jobs are created for each unit of electricity generated from renewable sources
Introduction With the growing number of green charities and great effort on teaching people about the environmental conservation, we are now more familiar with this topic. Many scientists contribute the weird climate and frequent natural disasters to climate change or more precisely to global warming. To make improvement on this precarious situation, many nations have got meetings to discuss how to address this big problem and finally reach an agreement to cut down on the carbon dioxide emission
Fertilizer consumption in India has been increasing over the years and today India is one of the largest producer and consumer of fertilizers in the world. By 2009-10 total fertilizers consumption in the country was 26.49 million nutrient tones. Importance of fertilizers in yield improvement which is essential for achieving increased agricultural production further increases because there is little scope for bringing more area under cultivation as well as majority of Indian soils are deficient in
extinction, but on the other hand, it could be explained by the fact that humans has been using an extremely high amount of fossil fuels over a relatively short period of time, which could have led to a sudden change in the atmosphere, the enhanced greenhouse effect. Moreover, human activities
order to avoid future problems related to affecting human health and the environment. Waste management and disposal issues are not just problem of a certain country or a continent. It is a global issue which should be addressed immediately. The importance of waste management was discussed formally for the first time in the Basel Convention, which is an international treaty. Waste management is important because it is one of the best preferred ways to achieve sustainable development. There is no single
