There are better ways to continue using all the technology that we have created while still working to keep our ecosystem in-tact. It is becoming even more affordable to use alternative energy sources, as the equipment that is needed to make it work becomes more available, overcoming one of the biggest obstacles standing in the [...]

Let us understand what greenhouse effect is all about. The main source of light and natural energy to earth is sun. Almost half of the sun’s energy in rays is absorbed by earth’s surface. Earth in return, radiates back this energy in form of infrared rays. Now, when this heat is absorbed by greenhouse gases [...]

It is becoming even more affordable to use alternative energy sources, as the equipment that is needed to make it work becomes more available, overcoming one of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of using cleaner energy. Did you know that you can even take advantage of tax incentives from the government that will [...]

The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased and this is one of the major factors that have contributed to global warming. Green houses like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons and carbon monoxide trap the infra red radiations from the sun and ensure that the earth is hospitable to various living species. In fact, [...]

To prevent Global warming, one of the things that a person can opt for is use of alternative forms of energy production other than fossil fuels which give large amounts of carbon dioxide. Use of solar energy can be a good alternative which can be employed. Another thing they can do is to plant trees [...]

The main effect centres around an increase in the global average temperature. It’s been confirmed by at least 20 scientific societies and academies of science, as well as all the national academies of science of the G8 states, that the Earth’s global average air temperature near its surface rose by 0.56-0.92 C (0.98-1.62 F) degrees [...]

The upcoming climate change summit in Copenhagen in December where the leaders of the world are going to meet is an ideal place to start the process of addressing the core issues that are part of the global warming debate. It is rather befitting that Copenhagen in Denmark that is in Europe should be selected [...]

Data of NASA shows that the trend in the Earth’s temperature has been mostly upward and that the Earth is now about 1.3 °F warmer than it was a century ago. Scientists point to an increase in greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use as the major cause, but skeptics claim the warming observed is natural. [...]

Possible sources of alternative energy include solar power, wind power, energy from the sea and biomass although there is no doubt that other possibilities exist and may become significant Fossil fuels are so called because they were formed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Examples of fossil fuels include coal, oil and gas [...]
