Global Warming

Global warming is driven partially by human pollution. The pollutants that contribute to global warming are commonly known as greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide is probably the best known greenhouse gas, but methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases also play a role in driving climate change…

Coal burned in power stations contains carbon which combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide. The man-made (or anthropogenic) component of the greenhouse effect is caused by man’s activities that emit greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The most important of these is the burning…

Global warming is a topic that people all over the world have very strong feelings about. Many tests and research have been done, and we now know more than ever about it..

Scientists are to outline dramatic evidence that global warming threatens the planet in a new and unexpected way – by triggering earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches and volcanic eruptions. Reports by international groups of researchers – to be presented at a London conference next week – will show that…

Fossilised and live coral offer vital information on the effect of climate change on organisms. (Phys.org) —A report from a panel of global scientists has offered the strongest evidence yet that climate change is a direct result of human behaviour. More than 600 scientists worldwide contributed to the…

The climate crisis of the 21st century has been caused largely by just 90 companies, which between them produced nearly two-thirds of the greenhouse gas emissions generated since the dawning of the industrial age, new research suggests. The analysis, which was welcomed by the former vice-president Al…
