…billion metric tons per year, so it is clear that deforestation makes a significant contribution to the increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. Releasing CO2 into the atmosphere enhances the greenhouse effect. Deforestation and Biodiversity Biological diversity…

…would produce a population of 60 to 125 billion. GLOBAL TEMPERATURE AND GREENHOUSE GASES Figure 2. Greenhouse Gases and Mean Global Temperature (Greenhouse gas concentrations and mean global temperature verses time). Time scale same as in Fig. 1. Gas…

…relation to greenhouse gasses; components of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect which warms the planet. (Reay) One such issue is with hydroxyl (OH) radicals. The hydroxyl radical is the neutral form of the hydroxide ion. Hydroxyl radicals…

…cause of this issue is human behavior. With humans being a more advanced population, they also increase the production of a major climate-changing factor. This factor is the overproduction of greenhouse gases. Increased population, causes the increased…

…. Surrounding the issue of global warming is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect plays an important role in the issue of global warming, but it is not the reason behind why global warming is occurring. The earth produces greenhouse gasses naturally…

…Global warming is the heating of the earth. This heating occurs because of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when carbon dioxide and other gases (methane and nitrous oxide) trap energy from the sun in our atmosphere. Most of the energy…

…-degree difference from Earth. To make Mars habitable, we need to create a Martian greenhouse. This process could take thousands of years and the initial steps could take several hundred years. There are currently three ideas of terraforming Mars. The first…

…radiates energy back into space. Atmospheric greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases) trap some of the outgoing energy, retaining heat somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse. Without this natural "greenhouse effect," temperatures…

…to secure a cleaner and safer environment for future generations. The big question is how should we go about achieving this goal? The Kyoto Protocol has been proposed as a solution for the emission of greenhouse gases and is summarized as follows…

…to a solid known as 'dry ice' which is used as a substitute for normal ice as it is a lot colder and doesn't melt. Humans and animals breathe out Carbon Dioxide, often referred to as the greenhouse gas, as a waste product. Plants take in this CO2 and use…
