Greenhouse Gases Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

Tropical Deforestation

The tropical forests are an ecosystem located in the inter-tropical zone, between 23°S and 23°N. The tropical forests contain the most important biodiversity in plants and animal species. The tropical forests are very important to the planet as a source of oxygen for the planet.
The deforestation is a phenomenon that exists since the human is on earth. From eighteen century the deforestation in all the regions of the world and especially in the tropical forest increases its rate due too many factors as: agriculture, wood, mineral extraction and cities expansion. The deforestation is conducted both by economic ...

Greenpeace is a non-governmental organization that protects and conserves the environment. This organization addresses issues that affect the environment such as global warming overgrazing and deforestation. In this blog we will address the issue of global warming and energy. Global warming is the average increase in temperature due to increased concentration of greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor and chlorofluorocarbons. The gases are caused by natural activities like volcanic eruption and human breathing, human activities is the other cause and includes deforestation, burning of coal, fossil fuel and natural gas (Spencer, 2010, p. 112). ...

LifeStraw: Science and Technology

LifeStraw is a product developed by the Swiss company Vestergaard Frandsen, which consists of a water filter that removes 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, protozoan parasites and viruses, allowing the user to obtain clean drinking water directly from containers, streams, lakes or other sources of potentially contaminated water.
The Oxford Dictionary defines science as the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. In order to develop the LifeStraw, scientific experiments were conducted to understand the process of water purification and develop an innovative method ...

Whenever I think about climate change, my understanding is more ideological and economic. In the New York Times Article by Justin Gills, “U.N. Climate Panel Endorses Ceiling on Global Emissions”. The U.N climate panel recently endorsed an upper limit on greenhouse gases, which establishes a target level which people must stop these emissions or face dire climatic changes. The target level established was predicted to be exceeded in relatively short time if measures were not taken to curb emissions. Human related activity was cited as the leading cause of Global warming. The climate panel endorsed a “carbon budget” for humanity. This ...

Introduction

A dam is a structure specifically constructed to obstruct the flow of moving water, and by extension raising the water level. Dams are built for various purposes, such as a means of flood control, water storage, and a source of hydroelectric power, specifically hydroelectric ones. Some dams are also used in transportation and inland navigation by acting as bridges that connect one side of a body of water to the next. In other words, dams can have many benefits for a developing society. Because of their perceived benefits, many dams have been built all over the world—at least ...

Question No. 1

Tragedy of the commons, as envisioned by Hardin, is the infinite freedom of the people to use or make use of the finite free resources of the world. The unchecked and wanton use by the people of these free resources results in a tragedy, according to Hardin, because eventually such use will overwhelm the resources themselves. A simple, but graphic example used by the author to illustrate this point is a pasture that is open to all for use. If one or several persons use this pasture to graze their animals this would not pose harm to the pasture, ...

Breaking the Law For the Sake of Justice details an incident where 2,500 protested illegally trespassed onto the property of a Washington D.C. coal-burning plant to protest that fact that these types of plants contribute to 40% of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Feeling that a significant amount of environmental damage was being caused by the plants, the demonstrators felt a social need to break the law. It was their belief that breaking the law in this instance would benefit society and be for the greater good by discouraging the use of coal by power plants which contributes significantly ...

Sustainability has no clear line of definition as it means a lot different things to different people. To some, it could be a way of living with regard to the extent they can bear. Others could define it as the production styles they use in their flow of business, or a business as a whole. It could imply the responses to policies especially in the question of to what extent the environment that should be consumed over time (Ana Markulev, 2013).
Sustainability entails the ability to do an activity continuously. In sustainable development, the current needs are met without affecting the ability ...
