Carbon Research Proposals Samples For Students

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits dangerous to the health of not only smokers but also others. Currently, smoking has become a massive "epidemic" common among men, women and even children. The fact that smoking is harmful to health know everyone, but not all realize the true extent of its impact.
Damage to health damage is delayed in time and not immediate, but gradual, usually after 10-20 years after the onset of smoking. Therefore, many smokers at first do not notice changes in their health status and believe that nothing will happen to them in the future, ...

Introduction

The effects of accumulated carbon in the atmosphere are now evident in almost every part of the world. As a result, there is need for a collective approach towards implementing strategies that will help reduce such accumulated carbon. Since it is virtually impossible to reduce the already available carbon in the atmosphere, the best approach in this case is thus concentrating on limiting emission from the most common sources (Armaroli, & Balzani, 2011). This proposal thus presents installation of solar panels to harness solar energy with an aim of making the same the most preferred source of energy.
1.1 Background ...

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

Problem statement

Azerbaijan like many countries in the world is dependent on fossil fuels as a source of its energy. Being a fossil fuel rich country, fossil fuels are widely used to produce majority of the energy needed in the country. However, fossil fuels have a number of problems associated with them. They are a finite resource and human beings are using them at a much faster rate than the earth can replace them. Therefore, in the future humans will deplete all natural occurring fossil fuels (Michaelides, 2012). Furthermore, carbon compound makes up fossil fuels. This implies that burning up fossil ...

Climate shifts is one topic that is well suited in this area. The issue of climate change requires an in-depth study in that there is a rising disconnect between the increasing public adoption of the prevalence and the critical nature of the dilemmas it presents and the reluctance and even outright hostility by corporate leaders and policy makers, specifically those in the energy exploration and generation industry, to acquiescing with the impacts ...

Introduction

Global warming refers to the increase in the earth’s surface temperature because of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which originate from burning or combustion of fossil fuels that trap heat which would rather escape from earth (Simon). Global warming an also refer to the projected and observed increase in the earth’s atmosphere and the oceans. From the definition, it follows that global warming resulted from enhancement of the greenhouse effect, primarily caused by pollution.
Global warming causes climatic change and it is a concern to policy makers. In 2007, the UN intergovernmental climate change ...
