There will be a release of about 10 gigatons (1 Gigaton is equal to 2‚204‚622‚621‚848.776 pounds) of carbon-equivalent methane into the atmosphere. Currently‚ there are about 3.5 Gigatons of carbon equivalent methane in the atmosphere(Sciencedaily.com). This will pose serious problems‚ such as hundreds of native plants and animals going extinct adding more of a struggle to the already fragile ecosystem‚ in addition

so continue to affect the delicate balance of our living planet and our climate. The latest edition of WMO’s Greenhouse Gas Bulletin also notes that the rate of increase of greenhouse gases has recently accelerated. Carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxide are the three main contributors to greenhouse gasses‚ with carbon dioxide’s atmospheric abundance rising by 39 per cent since the start of the industrial era in about 1750. According to the same report‚ the 20 years to 2010

eThe phrase global warming refers to the documented historical warming of the Earth’s surface based upon worldwide temperature records that have been maintained by humans since the 1880s.It is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans.In the last 100 years‚ this temperature increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F) with about two thirds of the increase occurring over just the last three decades.According to the exponentss of the concept‚the likely effects of a further

to absorb the carbon dioxide. However Methane seems to contribute more since many of the SADC communities depend on agriculture. Methane is from agriculture activities it’s released from wetlands. The emission of methane gas increase with increase in agricultural activities‚ since 1960’s the amount of methane in the air has increased by 1% per year. Methane is also produced during mining of coal‚ oil and when vegetation burnt. Methane molecules have life time of 10 years in the atmosphere

Global warming Global warming has been a hot topic in recent decades. According to the Climate Literacy‚ global warming refers to is a natural phenomenon whereby heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere‚ primarily water vapor keep the Earth’s surface warm. Human activities‚ primarily burning fossil fuels and changing land cover patterns‚ are increasing the concentrations of some of these gases‚ amplifying the natural greenhouse effect.. I had learned some basic concepts about global warming when

Biomass Energy Introduction Biomass is biological material derived from living‚ or recently living organisms. It mostly often refers to plants or plant-derived materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. As a renewable energy source‚ biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat‚ or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. The source of biomass energy. Wood energy. is the largest

Problem-Solution Outline I. Introduction A. Without the atmosphere to create a green house-type effect‚ the average temperature on Earth would be just 5 degrees Fahrenheit. B. The green house effect keeps our atmosphere warm because it traps the green house gases in. C. Global warming is major problem and solar cars are a way to help fix it. II. Section 1- Problem (3-4 paragraphs) A. Global warming is a major problem. 1. Description (a.) Global warming is harming the earth by putting
