Wetlands in Southeast Asia are thought to be one of the greatest sources of methane (CH 4 ) to the atmosphere. Tropical peatlands are typical in Southeast Asia, and store an enormous amount of soil organic carbo
Fracking has the potential toprovide more oil and gas resourcesto consumers but the process of extraction has long-lasting impacts on the surrounding environment. Air pollution and water contamination due to the toxic chemicals used are the greatest concerns within fracking sites. The need for wastew...

The rest of it ends up getting absorbed when it hits certain things in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane gas and water vapor. After these components in our atmosphere absorb all this heat, they emit energy (also in the form of heat). The heat that doesn't make it out ...
How does carbon footprint affect your business? While your carbon footprint affects the environment in general, it can also significantly impact your business. First and foremost: the economic impact. A higher CO2 footprint is directly associated with higher energy consumption. This...
The new climate realitySome climate change is locked in. The primary driver of temperature increase over the past two centuries is the human-caused rise in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous oxide. Since the beginning of the ...
