The Anthropomorphic Factor in Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumption
Illustration of the Need for Green Energy in North America in Order to Prevent Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change.
Which is the Gas named Greenhouse Gas? There is no such thing as a unique greenhouse gas since there is a multitude of gas combinations which have the properties of letting the sunlight pass through and then capture the heat reflected back to space.
which is what greenhouse gases do.
How do Greenhouse Gases Affect our Daily Lives? Greenhouse gases are characterized by their ability to let the Sun's rays through the atmosphere they then trap the heat headed back into space and return it to Earth.
During the day, while the Sun warms the Earth.
The compound of gases which we refer to as greenhouse gases trap this heat by absorbing infrared radiations.
Heat is then prevented from leaving the atmosphere and consequently provokes an effect analogous to the one seen in greenhouses, hence the name.
Greenhouse Gases: Two Categories.
Of the multiple gases which have the property of retaining infrared heat, most are found in nature like: carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour (clouds).
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used in diverse industries, which were man made.
The Natural Solution.
Nature is perfectly capable, largely through photosynthesis which is a operation by which plants generate oxygen out of carbon dioxide, water, and light.
If there were a way for nature to absorb the levels of greenhouse gases produced, credible scientists think the quantity of warmth taken in by the Earth compared to the heat reflected back into space should, all other elements being equal, should hold almost still.
Scientists would be likely to come across extremely low temperature variations.
The Origins: Humans are constantly increasing production of greenhouse gases.
From all gases which have as an origin human activities, 25% derives from the utilisation of oil in automobiles and to produce heat energy and electricity.
How do Greenhouse Gases Relate to Climate Change? Let's begin by defining the manifestations which, aggregated together, are known as climate change: the term "climate change" usually refers to changes in modern climate including average temperature, precipitations and wind patterns.

Scientific patterns point towards that a rising concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, for an important number of years, will lead to an increase of Earth's average temperature.
This rise in temperature can modify the quantity and intensity of precipitations and also offer propitious atmospheric conditions for high magnitude storms and, an increase in the sea level.
These simulations also guide scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to conceive that the changes in observed global temperature, which would be of 0.
6 C to 0.
9 C over the last hundred years, are caused by human activity and do not have a answer using only know natural causes.
Source: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) How do Humans Generate these Greenhouse Gases? In the United States and Canada, greenhouse gases are generated in a large proportion by the burning of fossil oil and other energy yielding fuels.
In North America, energy is used mostly in the industrial sector, in the transport industry, in our vehicles and heat up / cool down our houses.
The polluting factor of energy consumption is directly linked to the fuel used in order to manufacture electricity.
Carbon dioxide emissions that are directly related to the use of natural gas, coal and, most important, petroleum, accounted, in 2006, for 82percent of the total human related greenhouse gas produced in the United States.
Methane, emanating out of: landfills, some mines (mostly coal), oil, natural gas and farming accounts for another ninepercent of US' greenhouse gas emissions.
These were a couple of the statistics President Obama is addressing in his program about climate change.
