At the rate at which CO2 levels are increasing scientists have made the following predictions- An average global surface temperature increase of 1.6-6.3F by 2100 An increase in evaporation, which in turn increases average global precipitation A decline in soil moisture in many regions An increased frequency of intense rainstorms A rise in sea level of almost two feet along the worlds coastlines Nitric oxide in the atmosphere has the ability, like carbon monoxide, to react with other chemicals to form nitrogen dioxide, a major pollutant involved with the formation of negativ...
A huge problem that is starting because of the temperature increasing is Rain, snow, sleet and hail storms are becoming more erratic. ... Alberta's oil sands are set to cause growing levels of acid rain consequentially leading to an increase in water contamination in the area. Acid rain will cause Canada's lakes and rivers to become further acidified. ... If we continue to warm, we can expect that the amount and distribution of rain, snow, and ice and the risk of extreme weather events such as heat waves, heavy rainfalls and related flooding, droughts, and forest fires will increase ...
For instance, Global warming, Deforestation, ozone layer depletion and Acid rain are a few environmental issues caused by man. ... Deforestation is the clearing of tropical rain forests or green cover for agricultural, industrial or urban use this involves destroying forests in order to make that land available for residential space. ... The deforestation rate has been raising in an unexplainable way, and if it continues the rain forests will vanish within a hundred years. ...
Acid rain caused by air pollution was killing forests and damaging buildings. ... The CCT first official response was World Peace Day 1990 in Pope John Paul II's "peace with God the creator, peace with all of creation", the Pope spoke of the depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, soil erosion. ...
The world's natural resources are being consumed at an alarming rate. As these resources diminish, people will be looking for alternative sources which generate electricity. Advances in nuclear energy have given us a practical alternative which has several advantages. However, many people are concer...
It was intense tropical storm with heavy rain and very powerful winds, which developed over warm water and used it as an energy. ... Rising too much of CO2 in the atmosphere may cause disaster in the world, because it may contribute to acid rain formation. ...
The temperature on earth's surface is determined by the solar radiation energy and heat reflected from the earth to outer space. Sunlight warms the surface, and then emits energy in the form infrared rays, or heat. Then a certain percentage of these rays are absorbed in the by atmospheric gases, thus heating the atmosphere which in turn radiates heat back toward earth's surface. With this process, known as the "greenhouse effect", the earth's average surface temperature is kept around 15 C. If not for this process the temperature of the earth would drop by over 30...
