Greenhouse gas

petroleum, coal and natural gas. • Petroleum This is the most widely used source of energy. It supplies about 45% of the world’s requirements. However, it is an exhaustible resource, it create environmental problems as removing large quantities of petroleum from under the ground may cause land to sink, it can affect aquatic life in the advent of an oil spill, the burning of petroleum products also causes air pollution, resulting in global warming due to greenhouse gasses and finally in the depletion

a big problem with animals. The polar bears will totally disappear, because they depend only on the ice floe. Lots of other animals are in danger, just like Bengal Tigers or alligator. 2- New resources. The ice floe contains lots of resources in gas, petroleum, gold, etc… But they are inaccessible in the moment because of the snow and the ice. With the melting of the ice floe, these resources will be more accessible in the next years. So, lots of countries want to get a big part of these resources

technology uses a huge quantity of electrical energy: all the PC’s, servers and switches need electricity to run. Another amount of electricity is used to cool the electronics and this electricity is generating by fossil fuels, which engenders greenhouse gas emissions. 4. The power usage cost a lot for businesses, there is a lot of companies which are losing money for this power. They don’t know what they’re spending. And ignore that in investing in energy-efficient PC’s, they are going to

vitamin and can cure A vitamin deficiency. Moreover, cells from GMOs can be used into vaccines for animals. * No study shows that GMOs are harmful. Actually, it pollutes less the land and rivers than many pesticides. It even reduces the greenhouse gas emission and the global warming. * GMOs ask for less water than traditional cultures. And this is a headway given that water is the blue gold of nowadays and that we might be lacking water soon. * GMOs are resistant to pesticides

speak about wind turbine offshore). France does not possess any offshore park but projects are in runs. IV / The energy produced by a wind turbine is a renewable energy: it is durable and clean, it does not use some fuel, it is not a greenhouse gas. Moreover it helps to reduce the transmissions of CARBON DIOXIDE. That is why every megawatt per hour helps to reduce of 0,9 ton the rejected transmissions of CARBON DIOXIDE per year by the electricity production of thermal origin. Nevertheless

implementation of the fixed objectives. The last COP was held in Bali (2007), Poznan (2008) and Copenhagen (2009). The protocol of Kyoto (December 2007) made the main developed countries to engage themselves to reduce by 5.2 % the emission of greenhouses gas for the period of 2008-2012. However, not all the developed countries signed the protocol (e.g. USA). The conference of Copenhagen was supposed to succeed to the protocol of Kyoto, which shall expire in 2012. Heads of States and representatives

(General Motors, ford, Chrysler). Moreover, to reduce air pollution, he promulgated the establishment of a national market for CO2 emission permits. He requires polluting companies to buy a “right to pollute” from low-polluting firms. For example, greenhouse gas emissions felt by 2.8 percent to reach lowest level since 2001. However, his position on the nuclear power development is ambivalent. In fact, he does not want nuclear waste to dump in the Nevada desert, despite of the nuclear power benefit

biodiesel policy”. Experts suggest that current oil and gas reserves will last only a few more decades. To meet rising energy demands and compensate for diminishing petroleum reserves, fuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol are in the forefront of alternative technologies. It is well known that transport is almost totally dependent on fossil-, particularly petroleum-, based fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, and natural gas. An alternative fuel to petrodiesel must be technically

ice cap is melting step by step wich provokes floods and wich raises sea levels. In the movie "une vérité qui dérange" we can see that beacause of this greenhouse effect some areas of countries could disapear under water. It is not harmless to considere that we are unstoppable. Humans forgot that we are on Earth and Earth is a planet not an empire. Gas, coal, nuclear energy aren't clean at all but often it's about a question of money. It's about carriyng our lands for the future generations. It's urgent
