Global Climate Change

1. Fossil Fuel Emissions
   1. Transportations

      Anmerkungen:

      • Transportation produces the largest amount of 28% of all global greenhouse emitted by all humans.Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes.  A way to solve this would be by using more energy efficienet cars or when all energy produced is clean using an electric car.
      1. Cars
      2. Planes
      3. Trains
      4. Buses
   2. Industry

      Anmerkungen:

      • The Industry sector produces the goods and raw materials we use every day.  Indirect emissions are produced by burning fossil fuel at a power plant to make electricity, which is then used by an industrial facility to power industrial buildings and machinery.More information about facility-level emissions from large industrial sources is available through EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program's data publication tool. National-level information about emissions from industry as a whole can be found in the sections on Fossil Fuel Combustion and the Industrial Processes chapter in the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks.Emissions and TrendsIn 2016, direct industrial greenhouse gas emissions accounted for approximately 22 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the third largest contributor to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions
      1. Factories
      2. Electricity
      3. Forestry
      4. Coal Mining
   3. Commerical and Residance

      Anmerkungen:

      • While Commerical and Residance is one of the less impactful part of the Global Climate Change only producing 11% of the Greenhouse gases emissions.
      1. Heating of Homes
      2. Waste Handling
      3. Waste Treatment
   4. Agriculture

      Anmerkungen:

      • Agriculture is one of the lowest producers, the main cause for emissions is methane gas from livestock and the deforestation for new farming land. Other wise it produces the lowest amount in 9% of emissions.
      1. Livestock
      2. Nitrogen Rich Soil
      3. Plant Cultivation
      4. Deforestation

1. Volcanoes

   Anmerkungen:

   • When a valcano erupts they release a lot of Co2, Water vapor, sulfer Dioxide and more Greenhouse gases.
2. Forest Fires

   Anmerkungen:

   • Forest Fires are both a fuel and fueled by climate change,  as the increase heat and drier climate make wildfires more likely and the wildfires add large amount of Co2 to the atmosphere.
3. Natural Hotsprings

   Anmerkungen:

   • Natural Hot springs release large numbers of water vapor, which is a greenhouse gas.

Anmerkungen:

• Carbon Sinks are naturally accruing parts of nature, that absorb carbon from the atmosphere and storing them in a solid form preventing it from harming the atmosphere. The  Most common carbon sinks are Tree's and Oceans

1. Ocean's

   Anmerkungen:

   • The Ocean is the worlds biggest carbon sink as they absorb about 50% of the carbon admitted into the atmosphere. This is carried out by Coral, Plankton, Fish, Bacteria and Alge
   1. Plankton
   2. Coral
   3. Fish
   4. Alge
   5. Bateria
2. Plants

   Anmerkungen:

   • Plants are the second largest carbon sinks working through absorbing carbon through photosynthesis and storing them in the bark of the tree.

Anmerkungen:

• A carbon is the movement of carbon from different carbon pools.

1. Renewable Energy
   1. Solar Panels

      Anmerkungen:

      • Solar energy relies on the nuclear power from the sun. After the energy is collected there are many different ways to convert it into energy we can use. One of the options are solar water heating with solar collectors or attic cooling with solar attic fans for domestic use to the complex technologies of direct conversion of sunlight to electrical energy using mirrors and boilers or photovoltaic cells. Sadly this form of energy collection is insufficient to power the entirety of modern society.
   2. Wind Turbins

      Anmerkungen:

      • The movement of the atmosphere is driven by differences of temperature at the Earth's surface due to varying temperatures of the Earth's surface when lit by sunlight. Wind energy can be used to pump water or generate electricity, but requires extensive areal coverage to produce significant amounts of energy.
   3. Hydroelectric energy

      Anmerkungen:

      • This form uses the gravitational potential of elevated water that was lifted from the oceans by sunlight. It is not strictly speaking renewable since all reservoirs eventually fill up and require very expensive excavation to become useful again. At this time, most of the available locations for hydroelectric dams are already used in the developed world.
   4. Biomass Energy

      Anmerkungen:

      • Biomass means energy from plants, this is a very commonly used method of renewable energy around the world. The most popular form of this is the burning of trees but it releases high amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Some more modern forms of biomass energy is methane generation and production of alcohol for automobile fuel.
