Renewable Energy Cars : Reduce Greenhouse Effects

The transportation industry has continued to grow from the first production of the car in the 1990s by Karl Benz. Since this time there have been an outstanding number of model cars, airplanes, buses, motorcycles and scooters, and many other transportation vehicles that uses the standard type of fuel, gasoline. Society as a whole has yet to realize the harmful effects gas powered vehicles have on our ecosystem. Unfortunately, due to lack of this information, the overwhelming price difference between the types of transportation, and convenience, this ever-growing problem my never change until it's too late.

First of all, we often hear that carbon dioxide (CO2) has a negative impact on the temperature of our planet, also known as global warming.

“Greenhouse gases (GHG) occur naturally in the atmosphere… But human activity has been boosting the concentration of some of them, most notoriously the carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released by burning fossil fuels… has been blamed for much of the excess retention of heat in the atmosphere that has contributed to global warming. (Woodard, 2007, p.29). Cooper, an author argues that “The action of carbon

Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University’s Department of Geography, found a direct connection between carbon dioxide and global warming. Matthew’s studies show that same global temperature increase, regardless of when or over what period of time the emission occurs. The effect of adding more carbon dioxide is predicted in the theory of greenhouse gases. Swedish scientist, Syante Arrhenius, first proposed the theory in 1896, based on earlier work by Fourier and Tyndall. At the same time, many scientists have reached the same conclusion. If we increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Earth’s temperature will increase. Energy is absorbed from the sun in the form of visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The earth then releases some of this energy as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere captures some of this heat, then re-emit it in all directions. During this process, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases keep the Earth’s surface 33 degree Celsius warmer than it would be without them. According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8 degree Celsius. Since 1975, two-thirds of the warming has occurred at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20 degree Celsius per decade.

Since 1975, the surface of the earth 's average temperature has risen by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit; global warming caused by greenhouse effect has become the focus topic of the world. It has long been recognized academically that due to the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and so on the carbon dioxide is the main culprit of global warming. I watched a documentary, which called “The Great Global Warming Swindle.” In the documentary, the scientists pointed out that there is no direct evidence that carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming, global warming is more of propaganda, a kind of political activity. Normally, as an amateur people, should write this article emphasizes their neutrality, but actually, I agree with BBC.

As far as we know, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that is able to sustain conditions suitable for life because of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. But in past few decades, the planet has been growing warmer due to the increase of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, due to the increase of unnatural amounts of carbon that are being released into the atmosphere and can’t be gotten rid of or put to good use by the carbon cycle (Global Warming, 2016).

Scientists have come up with some observations to support this theory, as follows scientists believe that most of the carbon dioxide which is trapped in the atmosphere is caused by human activities such as using cars, planes and electricity which allows it to lead to emission of very harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Before humans existed, the temperature of the Earth increased as it began to age only which took a very long time, however since humans existed the process of temperature rising on the Earth has sped up. Factors such as deforestation has also affected the temperature of the Earth as loss of trees release excessive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which also affects plants and trees which use that emitted carbon

Carbon Dioxide impacts global climate because it is emitted into the atmosphere, and traps heat inside of Earth, which is causing Earth to become warmer. Over time, Carbon dioxide levels have risen. In December of 2005, the Carbon dioxide level was at 380.75 ppm (parts per million), and in November of 2011, the Carbon dioxide level was at 392.41 ppm. This year, in March of 2018, the Carbon dioxide level was at 407.96 ppm, so they have risen a lot since 2005. Carbon dioxide is related to the Greenhouse Effect, because it is released into the air through human activities, and then it stays in Earth’s atmosphere, and settles in. After settling in, it acts like a blanket, so when heat tries to escape, the Carbon dioxide traps it in, which is how

When many think of global warming or climate change, they think of an increase of heat. Yet there is much more to this than meets the eye, all stemming from greenhouse gases which is also known as Co2. As

     Carbon Dioxide plays a key role in the atmosphere. This gas has properties that allow it to sustain and hold in heat, which in turn warms the planet (EIA, 2004). Carbon, the primary component of carbon dioxide; is also the essential molecule for life and is the most basic building block found in all organic compounds. Human activities been blamed for the disruption of the earth’s natural carbon cycles and according to some studies, carbon is being added to the atmosphere faster than the natural processes that sequestrate it. The massive carbon sinks that naturally regulated and fixated excess carbon dioxide have been destroyed as humans have deforested ancient forests for the

• Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere. • Since pre-industrial times, atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased from about 280 parts per million (ppm) to over 380 ppm. Current concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are unprecedented in at least the last 650,000 years, based on records from gas bubbles trapped in polar ice. • Independent measurements demonstrate that the increased CO2 in the atmosphere comes

Climate change occurs mainly because of human activities, such as harvesting resources, industrialization, and technological invention, among other factors. One of the main reasons climate change has occurred in the last a few decades is because conventional cars which made their first appearance in 1886, have become increasingly popular. Although, conventional cars are more efficient and less expensive than hybrid cars, hybrid cars help reduce the negative impact on the environment more than conventional cars. A Hybrid car has disadvantages due to the battery and power of the engine, which has to improve over time, which makes people less likely to buy hybrid cars over conventional cars in the present such as gas and diesel. Even though both conventional and electric cars have negative impact on the environment, they have different scale of impact on the environment. By looking at how each system of both types of cars work, what the effect on fuel consumption rate and greenhouse gas emissions are, and what the disadvantages of electric cars are compared to conventional cars, hybrid electric cars are less likely to negatively impact on the environment more than conventional cars.

Since the 1960’s there have been many government acts passed that aim to increase the safety of vehicles, and decrease the environmental effect that they have on the world (Automotive Industry Analysis, pg 1). It is no secret that car’s emissions cause serious environmental issues with their pollution, and as this information has come out, there have been more and more Acts that place limits on automobile companies or force them to research ways to create more environmentally green cars.

The findings indicated manufacturing combustion engines use gasoline contributes toward Warming Climate Change. The major problem with cars and trucks plays important role in our society transport infrastructure is contributor to Air Pollution. These machinery that uses combustion engines burn gasoline or other fossil release polluted chemical. The major contamination pollutants are carbon monoxide, hydro-carbons, nitrous oxides, carbon dioxide. The environmental understanding the ten vehicles selected contributed toward emitted directly into the atmosphere when the carbon in fuel doesn 't burn completely. There is aftermath a secondary pollution after contamination has been released into atmosphere. The combination of various types of air pollution combines in sunlight. Result in holes ozone in the atmosphere ozone protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays which causes cancer. Hazard gases cause’s holes in the atmosphere’s ozone layer allow ozone to come closer to earth. Motor vehicle importance contributes towards smog accumulation causes serious respiratory illness. The number of vehicles in operation worldwide surpassed the 1 billion-unit mark in 2010 for the first time ever (Greenhouse). According to Ward’s research, which looked at government-reported registrations and historical vehicle-population trends, global

Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas naturally found in the atmosphere. Since the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s, humans have devised many inventions that burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gases, which, along with other human activities such as clearing land for agriculture or urban settlements, help some of these greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere that in turn trap more heat radiation in the atmosphere causing the Earth’s climate to become warmer than it would naturally (Mastrandrea). This unnatural phenomenon is termed global warming by scientists and they blame it for an increase in the Earth’s surface temperature of about 0.6°C (about 1°F) over the last 100 years (Mastrandrea).
