Since the middle of the twentieth century, the earth and surface waters have been getting increasingly warmer. As a result of this human-induced phenomenon, glaciers are melting, the sea levels are rising and the natural disasters become more unpredictable. Some climatologists still doubt whether a several degree temperature change is...
Introduction Air pollution is a global issue that requires international collaborating and cooperating. Statistics reveal that human activities produce a tremendous amount of contaminating substances. These processes also cause climate change and global warming. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the video that describes the issues of air...
Introduction Every time environmentally conscious consumers find themselves in a supermarket or a grocery store, they encounter a rather difficult choice between plastic and paper bags. Most of them are aware of all the advantages and disadvantages of plastic bags, but they still remain an illusion that paper bags are...
Introduction/Background In 1992, nations around the globe ratified an international agreement on climatic change. The goal was to develop mechanisms that could help to restore sanity to the global environment that faces the threat of global warming. “The United Nations Framework Convention on Climatic Change” (UNFCC) aims at addressing the...
Introduction Nuclear waste involves the byproducts of radiation resulting from the reaction and combustion of radioactive materials. It is a byproduct of nuclear power generation and other fission technologies. Such technologies include those in research and medicine. The waste can also arise from the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities...
Introduction This paper is a response to one of the most critical issues connected with the preservation of nature. It urges to stop the utilization of shopping plastic bags and to resort to their alternatives. Today, most countries all over the world reveal their concern regarding environmental pollution. They mainly...
Introduction Earth’s surface has recorded an unparalleled rise in temperature over the past century. The problem continues to intensify and may be catastrophic if it remains uncontrolled. According to Medhaug et al., “Every single year since 1977 has been warmer than the 20th-century average, with 16 of the 17 warmest...
Hurricane Katrina is undoubtedly one of the most overwhelming storms in the United States history, going by the number of fatalities caused and damage in dollar terms (Rogers, Keating, & Minutaglio, 2015). A penetrating analysis provided in the videos and articles offer deep insights on how a natural disaster turned...
Introduction Environmental conservation is one of the most important initiatives embraced by governments and nonprofit organizations around the world due to extensive environmental degradation. Experts have warned that if the current rate of environmental degradation is not checked, humans and animals risk facing extinction in the near future. There are...
Introduction Global warming is the most significant environmental issue that the world currently faces. Essentially, global warming is an irreversible increase in temperatures of the earth’s surface owing to the greenhouse effect of gases in the atmospheres. Gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen oxides accumulate in the atmosphere...
Introduction Statement of the problem Climate change has become a substantial concern at the global level amongst policymakers and business leaders in the current decade.

Introduction Environmental protection is of concern to many countries today. For a very long time, the issue of environmental protection has been of less concern, but nations have come to the realization that the environment is one of the main pillars of development. The impacts of environmental degradation are severely...
Hydropower Hydropower dams have a significant impact on the environment. According to Sørensen (2011), dams affect the migration of aquatic animals such as fish hence affects their population and distribution in their natural habitats. The scholar also notes hydropower dams also change the water temperatures, making the environment unsustainable for...
Introduction The climate change being experienced around the world has left some negative consequences on the environment which has seen constant changes in weather patterns that in turn affects natural resources such as vegetation, water sources, animal and human habitats. Climate change has also had a major impact on the...
Abstract In the recent decade, the issue of global warming has been the focus of the media, the public, and various government institutions. The environment around us is already showing signs of being affected by the phenomenon. While the issue is not novel and the related changes in the climate...
Introduction Climate change refers to the interference of the atmosphere that is influenced by human activities both directly and indirectly. This results in alteration of the natural climate, and the atmosphere for a certain period of time. It has resulted in shift of weather patterns globally. Different scientists have discovered...
Hydroelectric power stations are established on land with different formations and their impact on the environment starts with land use, wildlife, and aquatic systems despite the positive aspects of the production of electricity and use on agriculture or irrigation purposes. The land use problem emerges not only as a nuisance...
Abstract Although the approaches adopted to manage air pollution in Beijing and the UAE are strikingly different, the rates thereof are getting increasingly high in both states.
