How+Clean+Combustion+Affects+Climate+Change

=[|Greenhouse Gas Emissions] = = = =  = = =  It is said that the earth has warmed at least one degree F in the last 100 years. Climate change is happening due to many different things. One of the main reasons is because greenhouse gasses are emitted into the air. These gasses trap heat from the sun inside the atmosphere causing 'global warming'. The term global warming refers to the increase of the average temperature of the earth's surface throughout history. There are four main greenhouse gasses, water vapor Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. By trapping the suns reflected heat, and reflecting it back onto the earth, these gases cause warming. Clean combustion would reduce the amount of dirty gasses put into the air, and help to keep the temperature of the planet under control.



   Though the Greenhouse effect is essential to our existence and without it the earth would be cold and uninhabitable, man affects the natural process and alters the effect. Due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels or releasing methane, there is a new kind of global warming called anthropogenic global warming, which is a warming of the lower atmosphere, and is said to be caused by human activity enhancing the greenhouse effect. Clean coal, carbon sequestration, and clean combustion, are all good starts to lowering the earth's temperature, and getting the climate under control. It is possible to store carbon dioxide, and to break it down if it is under enough pressure. This process of breaking down carbon will help lessen the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmoephere and therefore less then effect that these gasses have on climate change. As humans continue to live the way they do, burning fossil fuels, burning coal, and releasing methane (even if it is only from cows), global climate change will continue to be an issue. we need to take a stand now against the negative changes that our planet is enduring. Clean combustion is a good start to fighting climate change and having a positive impact.
