Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrogen oxide, chlorofluorocarbons and so on are released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture, and other human activities, are believed to be the major sources of the global warming that has occurred. These activities emit more carbon
allowing the rainforest to be preserved for the use of future generations. The pros of the making money quickly would be quick and huge profits. It would lower the unemployment rate for a short period of time by creating logging jobs. It would create cheap wood which would lower the cost of many goods created using wood such as paper and furniture. It would clear land for agriculture, industry, cities and roads. The cons of making money quickly would be that it would increase the speed of erosion in
The topic I read dealt with environmentalism, specifically overpopulation. I agree with the pro articles that believe overpopulation is in fact a real problem. The con article I summarized was Population Is Not The Problem. The author stated that overpopulation is not real because humans, for centuries, have learned to adapt and change. That humans know how to adapt to the change in population and know how to live and create in a changing environment. As the years go by, humans have adapted through
economic problems, such as pollution, global warming, and overpopulation. These problems have taken a toll on the environment, and its resources. Although all of these issues have an impact on our environment, overpopulation stands to have the greatest impact on our environment, due to the large masses of people and the limited resources. “MegaCrisis? Overpopulation Is the Problem” is an argumentative article in which Gioietta Kuo, a scientist, examines the pros and cons of the overpopulation issue. Although
Title: Biofuel, is it the future energy solution? 3. Is biofuel the answer? - Analysis of pros and cons Pros : 1- Availability of Biofuels Biofuels are theoretically unlimited. In terms of availability, biofuels have a big advantage as they are at the top of the list of alternatives. The transition is likely to be subtle but slow as more and more fossil fuel is replaced with biofuel. 2- Environmental Impact Biofuels are environmentally friendly if they’re carefully produced and distributed
The Cost of Fracking Rough Draft There are a lot of things in the world that have consequences. Some are worse than others. Some things are ignored because the pros outweigh the cons. Fracking is a prime example of something that is important, but costly. It is a very controversial subject, and with any controversy, there are people who take sides. Fracking is used to extract oil from deep within the ground that could not previously be reached, but has a negative impact on nearby wells, the
UV rays killing the amphibian population The problem Frogs are very important to human beings. They can be used as an indicator if something is wrong in their environment because of the fact they live both in water and land and are susceptible to disease they also contribute to our society by getting rid of some dangerous pests and being part of mostly medical research but also the teaching of kids about anatomy. The amphibian population is declining rapidly though. It is believed to be because
energy by burning fossil fuels (Douglas, Bohlke, Huntley, Rogers, & Maclntyre, 2015, p.99). Power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, often produce a great amount of carbon footprints. The consequence of it would be global warming, and it will lead to the rise of sea levels due to the melting of ice from the Arctic. Over 95% of the transportation in the United States still uses fossil fuels to generate electricity for their vehicles ("Fossil Fuels - IER", 2016). Using
