depleting resources. The image shows multiple resources like the Amazon rainforest, coal, gas, and multiple minerals. The image then list different key years and evaluates what resources will be left. As you can see according to the data, by 2062 most fossil fuels are expected to run out along with many important minerals. And by 2087 a huge majority of the world’s rainforest like the Amazon will be exhausted. The data disproves Sagoffs main claim that the world is not running out of resource’s.…

In the case of humanity, not only does a generation leave behind its culture, but also the state of the Earth. Over the past 50 years, there has been a significant increase in the consumption of natural resources. In addition to the depletion of fossil fuels and natural gas, this increased consumption is damaging the planet; the increased carbon dioxide levels has caused the destruction of the ozone layer, and its level of protection to the surface of Earth. More of the sun’s dangerous rays…

Acid rain is found all over the world as a result of the release of chemicals from burned fossil fuels, which has sources from nature and human-made. These chemicals are blamed for the causing environmental deterioration and detrimental effects to human health. The Environmental Protection Agency has enacted laws and regulations to prevent and reduce the effects of acid rain including the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the Acid Rain Program. Other technologies and initiatives have been created to…

forms of energy production, wind power is one of the world’s greenest and most environmentally sustainable energy sources. Mathias Aarre Maehlum states that as it harnesses wind energy, no pollution to the environment occurs, especially in contrast to fossil fuels, coal and other nuclear power sources.…

humans are indeed responsible for the misery of many people. However, humans are not completely to blame because nature also plays a considerable role in causing carnage to our society. Over time, society has released detrimental substances such as fossil fuels into the atmosphere, which have provoked natural disasters to occur more frequently. Contrarily, in "Going to Extremes" Linda…

This quote by Wayne Swan, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, while running his election campaign, has inspired me to take a stand for the green energy initiative. For more than a century now, we as a civilization have solely depended on our fossil fuel resources to meet our energy demands. But with the depleting oil reserves and scientific evidence pointing towards an ever increasing global temperature, the demand for research in the alternative energy field has increased. The…

rely on all the time. Coal and petroleum are what produce the fossil fuels which allow us to live our life as we are used to it. These fossil fuels are however a limited resource. They do not reproduce at the rate we are consuming them - and they won’t for many millions of years. Renewable energy, sadly, is an expensive alternative and only 14% of the energy the US consumes is renewable. What if there was a way to gain access to more fossil fuels to give the world more time to adapt to its new…

pollution is as already mentioned before caused by burning fossil fuels in things such as factories and modes of transport such as cars etc. This can be very poisonous to us and can even cause things such as cancer depending on how strong and how much of the pollution there is and how long you stay in the area of where the heavy pollution is. However this can be prevented we can cut down on the amount of pollution we cause by burning less fossil fuels, this can be done by having eco-friendly…

Climate change is a problem that the entire world is dealing with. As our planet warms our weather pattern continues to change towards a more severe path. Species are dying off as a result of the world warming up. Observing the pattern of the warming of the globe over the past 30 years has people asking the scientific question, is global climate change man-made? We are going to go over the natural causes of climate change, what is causing the process to speed up, and what the people of the…
