To raise animals (cattle, pigs, chickens, ect.) to be eaten, it takes a lot of Natural Resources and the animals produce a lot of waste. Preparing the meat (cleaning, cutting, packaging, shipping, ect.) can also drain resources like water and electricity while adding waste to the environment. Plants produce less of this, and are more eco-friendly. They are plants, after all!
No, composting yard waste means you keep it as compost. There is no increase in the amount of garbage sent to landfills. Correct composting releases no greenhouse gases.
If there is no reduction in greenhouse gas emissions then global warming will continue to increase, tipping the earth over the danger point. If the earth warms by more than 4 or 5 degrees Celsius it will be difficult for life to survive.
Carbon emissions especially carbon (IV) oxide from industries increase the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases cause climate change, and it leads to tsunamis, flooding and drought .
Greenhouse gas emissions are directly related to global temperature increase and as sea levels rise, many of the Pacific islands will be drowned if global temperatures continue to increase.
It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.
"The Earth's temperature is rising due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, as shown by scientific data from temperature records and atmospheric measurements."
Water pollution could be said to add to global warming by the means it takes to clean the water. This then causes the emissions of greenhouse gases that increase global warming.
Think about all of the emissions/gases we pollute our earth with. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases damage different types of layers of our atmopshere (which include troposphere, startosphere, ozone layer, mesophere, and themosphere).
Water (vapor).
It causes an increase in the Earth's temperature.
carbon dioxide
Transportation sources (cars, trucks, etc.) emit approximately 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2006. Transportation is also:the fastest-growing source of U.S. GHGs, it produced 47 percent of the net increase in total U.S. emissions since 1990.the largest user source of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas.
