Greenhouse gas emissions are reported in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO 2 eq), determined by multiplying the amount of emissions of a particular greenhouse gas by the global warming potential of that gas. Greenhouse gases differ in their ability to absorb heat in the atmosphere due to their differing chemical properties and atmospheric lifetimes. For example, over a period of 100 years

Global warming is already changing the environment, the economy, and people's ways of living. The changes aren't over, either, and the more that changes around the world, the more critical it is to understand this complex and important issue. The following describes how and why greenhouse gases are formed, investigates some important global warming terms, []

These issues of global warming are real, and the myriad of limitations faced by developing countries show huge potentials that may totally collapse the economic, social and environmental processes of developing countries particularly in the area of agriculture, tourism and natural resource if sustainable actions are not quickly implemented. Africa battles with data documentation and monitoring

Environmental pollution has many facets, and the resultant health risks include diseases in almost all organ systems. Thus, a chapter on air and water pollution control links with chapters on, for instance, diarrheal diseases (chapter 19), respiratory diseases in children and adults (chapters 25 and 35), cancers (chapter 29), neurological disorders (chapter 32), and cardiovascular disease

The overall contribution of aggregate extraction to resource depletion, competing land uses, global warming, and energy use is rather low (Bleischwitz and Bahn-Walkowiak, 2006). Consider, for example, competing land uses. All types of mining and quarrying in the EU-15 during 2003 were estimated to use 0.2% of the land compared with 0.6% for industry, commerce, energy production, and wastewater

Threats to coral reefs come from both Global Threats to Coral Reefs. Increased ocean temperatures and changing ocean chemistry are the greatest global threats to coral reef ecosystems. These threats are caused by warmer atmospheric temperatures and increasing levels of carbon dioxide in seawater. As atmospheric temperatures rise, so do seawater temperatures. This warming causes

Global Warming Global warming is a grave issue that is affecting not only the United States, but the whole world as well. Various international strategies need to be implemented so that these issues can be tackled. If taken seriously, the issue of global warming can not only be overcome, it can be prevented as well. Global warming is an event that will affect many people and animals all over

Recently, my colleagues and I turned our attention to in situ carbonation of mantle rocks rich in olivine (Kelemen & Matter, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 2008). By speeding up natural processes, scientists propose that rocks from the Earth's deep interior, exposed on the surface by plate tectonics and erosion, may be able to capture and store billions of tons of CO2 per year.

South America: Climate Change Impacts Introduction. South America is the fourth-largest continent, with a population of more than 370 million people. Its role in global climate revolves around the vast Amazon basin. As with other continents, South America is already experiencing some effects of climate change and is predicted to experience more.

We present a model that represents global supply-chain networks. • We identified supply-chain clusters with high CO 2 emissions.. The U.S. construction demand induced relatively large CO 2 clusters in China.. The CO 2 cluster in China had high annual growth rate of 58%, during the period 1995–2008.. This study shows the highest-priority supply chains to mitigate global warming.
