Presentation1
This document discusses various pollution problems affecting both the environment and human health. It notes that almost everyone contributes to air pollution and provides examples of pollution's impacts like fish dying in China's Donghu Lake and people contracting diseases from pollutants. It also explains that cars burning gas release exhaust into the atmosphere and mentions efforts to curb pollution through developing more eco-friendly vehicles that use less gas or electricity. The document stresses the importance of reducing littering and developing advanced vehicles to help address global warming caused by the greenhouse gas effect trapping gases in the atmosphere.
Fuels
Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas provide around 90% of the world's energy needs. Coal supplies 28% and is mined in over 50 countries, though old coal mines can be dangerous. Oil provides 40% of energy and is cheaper to transport than coal, with the first oil well drilled in 1859. Natural gas provides 20% and is easy to transport with little pollution. However, fossil fuels are non-renewable and being used much faster than they can be naturally replenished, contributing to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This is an initial attempt by my students of B.Ed. in creating Programmed Instructional material using the template I had provided them. Your observations and suggestions are welcome!
Climate Change
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide levels have increased since the Industrial Revolution due to the burning of fossil fuels and reliance on automobiles. Methane is produced both naturally, through processes such as wetland emissions and enteric fermentation in ruminant livestock, and anthropogenically during activities like oil, coal, and gas extraction, waste management, and rice cultivation. While a potent greenhouse gas, methane can also be captured and used as an energy source at places like landfills and breweries.
The change of world climate and energy
The document discusses greenhouse gases and global climate change. It explains that while nitrogen, oxygen, and argon make up 99.9% of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have a significant impact on climate despite small quantities. It compares the global warming potential of different gases to carbon dioxide and explains that carbon dioxide has the greatest impact due to its high concentration levels in the atmosphere, despite being a weaker greenhouse gas than others. The document also discusses natural and human-caused sources of several major greenhouse gases.
Carbon footprint what's that
This document discusses carbon footprints and climate change. It begins by asking what a carbon footprint is and providing basic definitions of climate and weather. It then discusses how human activities like burning fossil fuels are releasing greenhouse gases and warming the planet. Specifically, it notes that burning fossil fuels releases carbon that was previously stored underground. It ends by noting that non-renewable energy sources like coal and oil make up 63% of our current energy supply and provides a link to a household carbon footprint calculator.
Massive use of fossil fuels by mary konisti
Massive use of fossil fuels has changed the atmosphere and warmed the planet, polluting the lands, air, and oceans. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas provide up to 80% of the world's energy due to their ability to produce significant energy when burned, though they damage the environment. Alternatives to fossil fuels could help reduce pollution while still meeting energy needs, but transitioning completely away from fossil fuels would be difficult due to societal dependence on the technology fossil fuels enable.
Europe Environmental Issues
The major environmental concerns in Europe are air pollution, acid rain, and nuclear disasters. Air pollution is caused by vehicle emissions and factories throughout large cities like London and Berlin. Acid rain is worst in Germany due to coal burning factories and vehicle emissions. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine spread radiation across Europe after a power plant explosion, forcing mass evacuations. European governments and the European Union are working to address these issues through new technologies, alternative fuels, and environmental policies.

Green house gases
New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions are unique in that over 50% come from methane released by the digestive processes of cows and sheep. Carbon dioxide emissions primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, which accounts for almost 80% of emissions in industrialized nations. While carbon monoxide is produced naturally through fires, the most common anthropogenic sources are incomplete combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, tobacco smoke, and indoor gas fires, with the highest levels found near busy roads in urban areas of New Zealand.
Environmental problems group1
The document outlines several ways that the environment is being damaged by human activity, such as deforestation, resource depletion, endangered species, and air pollution. However, it also provides examples of actions individuals can take to help the environment, such as planting trees, turning off appliances when not in use, donating to wildlife organizations, using public transportation, and installing filters on chimneys. The overall message is that while humans are putting the environment in danger, small steps by many people can help address these problems.
Carbon footprint banchetti
A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly to support human activities, usually expressed as tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. It measures the greenhouse gases an individual or organization is responsible for emitting in a given time period, such as a year. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change effects like rising temperatures and melting glaciers. Carbon footprints have direct emissions from sources like fuel combustion and indirect emissions from processes like electricity production. Small changes like using public transportation instead of cars, reducing energy usage, switching to renewable energy, eating less meat, and recycling can help reduce individual carbon footprints.

Air pollution in the form of smog hangs over cities and contributes to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. Unless reduced, air pollution will continue harming the environment and life on the planet.
Oil spills by_sabrina_luong
Oil spills occur when oil is accidentally leaked or spilled into the ocean from tankers or other machinery. They can be caused by human error or natural disasters like hurricanes. Oil spills harm ocean wildlife as animals can become coated in oil, affecting their ability to regulate body temperature and potentially blinding or poisoning them. Both humans and natural disasters are responsible for oil spills. To prevent spills, machinery should be regularly checked for leaks and oil carefully added or changed to avoid spills.
Greenhouse gasses melissa
Greenhouse gases exist naturally in the atmosphere and allow sunlight to enter but prevent heat from escaping. The two main contributors to greenhouse gases are human activities like industry and transportation as well as natural sources. Increased greenhouse gases are trapping more heat in the atmosphere and causing global temperature rises which affect weather patterns, sea levels, and land use. We can help mitigate the greenhouse effect by reducing fossil fuel usage, finding renewable energy sources, reducing and recycling, and using alternative transportation methods.

Ghg assessment from forest fires - indonesia case study
This document provides a preliminary assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires in Indonesia, with a focus on peatland fires. It finds that forest and land fires in Indonesia are primarily human-caused and occur mostly during the dry season, emitting significant greenhouse gases. Specifically, the 2013 fires in Sumatra burned over 100,000 hectares and emitted an estimated 183 million tons of CO2 in Sumatra and 54.9 million tons in Kalimantan. The document calls for improved methods to map burned areas, characterize carbon stocks and combustion factors, in order to more accurately calculate emissions from peatland fires and support Indonesia's climate change mitigation efforts.
Global warming
Global warming occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm up. This is harmful because many plants and animals cannot adapt to the temperature changes and die off. The primary causes of global warming are human activities like burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the air. Effects of global warming include rising sea levels from melting ice caps that can flood island communities, more severe weather events, and destruction of forests by fires and acid rain. While major changes need to be made by governments and industry, small individual actions like conserving energy can also help address the problem.

Production and consumption patterns significantly impact climate change through their effects on carbon footprints and ecosystems. Consumption patterns drive resource use and influence land usage and ecosystem resiliency. Spatial planning through zoning and dividing land supports climate change adaptation by improving urban resilience. Major drivers of climate change linked to production and consumption include power generation, transportation, farming practices, deforestation, fertilizer usage, fossil fuel extraction, waste disposal, and natural gas drilling.
Global warming cases and effects notes grade 5
Fossil fuels are a main cause of global warming when burned, as they release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Farming, especially cattle which release methane through burping and flatulence, is another key contributor. Deforestation, which is happening at an alarming rate for agriculture and palm oil production, removes trees that absorb carbon dioxide and releases more greenhouse gases. As the climate warms due to these factors, animal habitats are disappearing and scientists predict 20-30% of species could become extinct by 2050 if changes are not made. Humans will also be negatively impacted as weather patterns change, causing issues like rising sea levels and flooding in some areas. Individual actions like reducing waste, driving less, and making
Gas from cows.pptx
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas produced by livestock such as cows. Cows produce methane through digestion and waste. During digestion, bacteria in the rumen break down plant material and produce methane as a byproduct. Scientists are researching ways to reduce methane production in cows, such as changing their diets by adding seaweed or breeding cows with less methane-producing bacteria. Reducing meat and dairy consumption can also help lower methane emissions from the livestock industry.

Climate Change - We are the problem and the solution
Climate change is caused by human activities that emit greenhouse gases and lead to a long-term rise in Earth's temperature with severe consequences. The main contributors are burning fossil fuels, deforestation, animal agriculture, and waste. Global CO2 emissions and temperatures have risen sharply since the 1970s. To reduce our carbon footprint and combat climate change, individuals should make lifestyle changes like eating less meat, driving and flying less, improving home energy efficiency, and switching to renewable energy sources. Collective action is needed to address the global climate crisis.
Mitigation under climate change.
Climate change is common phenomena in the world. So we need proper mitigation and adaptation as soon as possible.
Bio mass energy
Biomass refers to organic material from living or recently living organisms, such as wood, waste, and alcohol fuels. It can be burned directly or processed to generate heat, electricity, or fuel. Benefits include being renewable, reducing pollution compared to burning fossil fuels, and providing cheaper energy. However, biomass is also inefficient relative to fossil fuels, and harvesting biomass on a large scale could damage forests. Effective use of biomass requires consideration of costs, environmental impacts, and logistics of collection and transportation.
Fossil Fuels Essay
Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source that were formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. They include coal, petroleum, and natural gas, and currently provide over 85% of the world's energy demands. However, fossil fuel usage is unsustainable and causes significant environmental damage, such as air and water pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.

Car exhaust is a major source of air pollution that harms human health and the environment. It is produced when fuel is burned in car engines. The United States and China are the top producers of car exhaust pollution due to large vehicle populations. Car exhaust contains harmful chemicals like benzene that can cause cancer, damage lungs, and affect blood cells. Many countries and car companies are working to reduce car exhaust by improving vehicle fuel efficiency and developing alternative fuel vehicles.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to an increase in the Earth's average surface temperature caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Current CO2 levels are the highest they've been in 15 million years and are rising due to human activities like burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the lower atmosphere and have increased average global temperatures, leading to changes in climate patterns and more extreme weather. Taking actions like driving less, improving energy efficiency, and switching to renewable energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the pace of global warming.

[Challenge:Future] I reduce greenhouse gasses emission
- 1. Carbon dioxide emission is of significant interest due to its environmental effects. In the earth's atmosphere, it acts as a greenhouse gas, thus it plays huge rule in global warming. Ever yone as an individual can take a few steps and commitments in order to reduce their own CO2 emission! On the other hand CH4 or methane is other significant non-CO2 greenhouse gas which is usually released when a pig is killed!
- 2. CO2 is emitted by cars/busses/trains or other means of transportation. The future and the rescue lies in the increased usage of bio-fuels. This future is not probable to happen, because the whole industry of fuels will need to change. People are afraid of change generally! Methane is mainly emitted by anthropogenic factors. Coal and oil mining, biomass burning, sewage treatment and animal waste for instance are means of methane emission. Our human race is responsible for ¾ of the methane gasses in the atmosphere.
- 3. Until the future of full bio-fuel usage happens, why don’t YOU as an individual try to use public transport; or combine your trips. If you have only a mile (from home to work), why not use the bike or go by foot? It’s healthy! As well, plug off from power the devices which you don’t use at home. Regarding methane emission, one thing you can do is for example stop eating pork meat. Pork meat is not quite healthy, and every time a pig is killed it emits methane. Imagine how many pigs get slaughtered per year and how much methane is emitted in the atmosphere. It is around 10 % of the total amount of this gas emitted by killing this animals. Why not trying to omit meat from your diet!? It is a win-win! You get healthier and you will decrease animal waste.
