Give a example of an opportunity cost that an accountant might not count as a costwhy would the accountant ignore this cost?
An opportunity cost where money does not change hands does not count as a cost. An example of this is the owner's opportunity cost for an alternate employment, since money does not change hands.
What is the greatest environmental cost of fossil fuels?
Global warming.
How much will the solution cost for stopping global warming?
trillions and trillions of dollars
How much do wind turbines reduce global warming?
They do not reduce global warming in any way they are just a source of electricity, like solar power and hydroelectricity. Solar power and wind power are renewable power sources but hydroelectricity is not due to the cost of construction and the dams breaking.
What are the skeptics' views on global warming?
A: There is no one skeptics' view on global warming. Some examples are:Some skeptics say the world is not warming at all. In fact a few even say that the world is cooling, although this flies in the face of meteorological records.Some say that if the world is warming, that is great. They think that global warming means warmer winters and more agricultural production, with no ill effects.Some say that if the world is warming, they realise that there will be winners and losers, but we expect to be among the winners. Losers could include inhabitants of Pacific Islan nations and Bangladesh, and perhaps some of our own coastal communities, but a lot of winners will live in richer nations.Some say that if the world is warming, there is nothing we can do about it. Variations on this include denying that atmospheric carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming, or that we are too powerless to stop rising levels.Some accept that global warming is real and that greenhouse gases are contributing to it, but say that rising greenhouse gas levels are not the result of human activity.Some claim that the short-term economic cost of halting global warming is more important than the long-term cost of climate change. A variation on this is to say that the evidence for global warming is still unconvincing to some, so why pay a cost now for a future benefit that might not materialise.A:Some think it isn't happening at all. They claim that more recent temperature readings are tainted by the Urban Heat Island effect.Others think even if it is happening, humans bear very little, if any, of the responsibility for it.They also point to NATURAL cycles of the Earth, the Sun, and our solar system's movement through the galaxy.Others think that, whether it is caused by humans or not, the results are not nearly as bad as predicted.
How much does air pollution costs you?
Air pollution doesn't have a "cost." But it does cause Global Warming and the atmosphere getting "clogged up" so to speak.
Why are people still causing global warming?
There is not enough renewable energy (solar, wind, water etc), so people still have to use fossil fuel energy (coal, oil and natural gas), which is causing global warming. Ordinary people can lower their energy use at home, and they can educate their parents or children, and they can lobby politicians, but until governments make industry pay the true cost of carbon pollution, then global warming will continue.
What are the disadvantages of using petrol in a car engine?
The cost and dependence on middle east countries for oil.The carbon dioxide released as pollution which is causing global warming.
What are the factors affecting tourism in India?
1) Environmental issues-global warming 2) Natural disasters 3) Cost of travel 4) Health warnings and epidemics 5) Terrorism
What are the consequences of overstocking?
unnecessarily ties up funds that might be more productive elsewhere (especially when inventory holding cost is high).
What are the key points on the effects of global warming?
Polar ice caps melting: The ice caps melting is a four-pronged danger. Beach erosion, low countries flooded, economic cost of repair and prevention.Economic consequences: Most of the effects of anthropogenic global warming won't be good. And these effects spell one thing for the countries of the world: economic consequences. Hurricanes cause billions of dollars in damage, diseases cost money to treat, changes in agricultural practices to continue to provide food will be expensive and control and conflicts exacerbate all of these.Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves: Although some areas of Earth will become wetter due to global warming, other areas will suffer serious droughts and heat waves. Africa will receive the worst of it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe, with millions at risk of starvation.Warmer waters and more hurricanes: As the temperature of oceans rises, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes. We saw in this in 2004 and 2005.Spread of disease: As northern countries warm, disease carrying insects migrate north, bringing disease to humans and agriculture.
Is Global Warming Skepticism Just Smoke and Mirrors?
Whenever you have an issue, their is a controversy. In the case of Global Climate Change the worldwide majority of environmental scientists and climatologists, backed up by data, photos, site observations and computer simulations, confirm that Global Climate Change is an issue and point to the man made generation of Greenhouse Gases (mainly carbon dioxide) as the cause. The few detractors have a small number of scientists who provide an alternate view. The trouble is that if action is not taken on Global Climate Change the consequences will be irreversible - nobody will like the world we get left with. The consequences of implementing climate change improvements (saving energy, using clean technology, reducing waste, removing GHGs at the point of emission) will cost us some money, create jobs, and let us survive.
What would happen if humans stopped burning fossil fuels?
Global Warming might decrease but people would die all over the planet unable to gain the benefits provided by the use of fossil fuels (Mainly cheap power and low cost transportation of goods) and the results such a change would have on the world's economy.
