The Kyoto Protocol which limits emissions of greenhouse gases for developed nations is an example of which type of law?
international law
What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by the greenhouse effect?
terestrial
What is global warming and the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the way the greenhouse gases (water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane etc) in the atmosphere trap the sun's heat to keep the planet warm. This effect is supported by the water and carbon cycles of the earth, and has been going on since life began.Global Warming is the warming of the earth during the past 200 years but especially since about 1970. Man discovered and started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that had been hidden away for millions of years. This extra CO2 is disrupting the natural greenhouse effect and is causing the enhanced greenhouse effect.It is this enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect that is responsible for global warming.A:Global warming, as the word has been used in recent years, is an increase in average temperature of the earth due to an increase of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gasses are gases that trap a great deal of heat. These include CO2 and Methane. Anthropogenic global warming is a certain type of global warming caused by human production of greenhouse gases through the burning of fossil fuels and by deforestation.The Greenhouse effect is the phenomenon of heat from the sun being trapped by greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere.
Which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
No renewable energy power plant, or farm emits greenhouse gas. (Solar, hydro, wind, tidal, geothermal, biofuel or biomass). Nuclear power stations, though not renewable, do not emit any greenhouse gases.
What type of nuclear reactor is used in Ontario to produce electricity?
This is the Candu type, which was uniquely developed in Canada to use heavy water moderator and natural uranium fuel
What type of fuel produces greenhouse gases?
Biomass
What type of greenhouse gases comes from transport?
Transport mostly runs on oil, which is a fossil fuel. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming.
What type of gas does global warming provide?
Global warming doesn't produce any gas. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
What type of cloud will prevent greenhouse gases the most?
cummulus clouds
What globe out of the CFL and the incandescent releases the least amount of greenhouse gases?
Neither type release greenhouse gasses
which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
nuclear
What type of science is greenhouse gases?
Study of greenhouses gases would fall into the meteorology branch of earth science.
Greenhouse gases can stop the transmission of this type of ray.?
Greenhouse gases stop the transmission of infrared rays. These are the rays which carry heat away from the earth, and therefore an increase in greenhouse gases results in global warming.
What type of radiation is in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases?
There is no radiation (Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma rays) related to Greenhouse Gases. There is some conversion of lsolar energy to thermal radiation (heat)
What type of chemical pollutants are responsible for ozone depltion?
CFC's are responsible. Greenhouse gases also deplete it.
Is fuel pollution a type of air pollution?
Pollution from burning fuel in vehicles contributes to air pollution, yes. There are two kinds of emissions:# Exhaust emissions: carbon dioxide and water vapor (greenhouse gases), as well as dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons and particulates. # Evaporative emissions: vapors of fuel which are released into the atmosphere, without being burnt.
What is a major drawback using fossil fuels?
Burning ethanol releases greenhouse gases.
