Carbon Emissions and Global Warming Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere every time we burn fossil fuels such as gas‚ coal or oil. In a natural carbon cycle‚ carbon dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees. However‚ the rate in which we are burning fuels is way too fast for trees and plants to absorb and convert into breathable air. In addition to that‚ many rainforests have been lost because of the cutting down of trees‚ which doesn’t help in the already existing problem. The effect

need for controlling emissions. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol‚ an international agreement between more than 170 countries. The Protocol agreed has fixed quotas on the maximum amount of Greenhouse gases which can be emitted by the developed and developing countries. In turn these countries set quotas on the emissions of installations run by local business and other organizations. Burning of fossil fuels is a major source of industrial greenhouse gas emissions‚ especially for power

Prof. Matthew Schmeer English 121 8/28/13 Greenhouse Emissions Caused by Transportation Global Warming is defined as an increase in the earth’s normal atmospheric temperature due to the greenhouse effect (Dictionary.com). The warming of earth’s atmosphere occurs when “CO2 absorbs infrared radiation and then re-radiates it back toward the surface of the planet” (Mahlman). Reducing unnecessary travel and shipping will reduce CO2 emissions. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has increased

Autism was unknown and unheard of in the ancient cultures and medieval times. This disorder just so happened to “appear” approximately 60 years ago. The numbers each year continue to rise. According to research‚ studies based on the prevalence and evolution of autism‚ fifteen years ago‚ the likelihood was one to two children per 10‚000 (Sharpe‚ 2007). Studies show that in 2010‚ the overall prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder was 14.7 per 1‚000 children who are aged eight years. To further
