Is a Coal Fired Power Stations renewable or non-renewable?

Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel. When it is burnt, you have to find more for tomorrow.


Why is biomass a better alternative to oil?

Biomass is a renewable resource.


How are you able to feel the smell of incense sticks when they are burnt away from us?

Because the smell of the smoke spreads as the gas particles diffuse throughout the area where the sticks are being burned.


How many megatons of carbon do humans produce by burning fossils fuels each year?

Total world energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were 29.7 billion metric tons in 2007.A:Humans add about 27 billion tonnes (nearly 30 billion US tons) of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels every year.


How are you reducing the amount of carbon dioxide into your atmosphere?

The planet has a number of huge carbon sinks, removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The largest is the ocean, as CO2 dissolves. This absorbs roughly 80% of all carbon dioxide. Other sinks are photosynthesis by vegetation and phytoplankton, and the weathering of silicate rock. For more details, read about the carbon cycle. Currently, sources of carbon must outweigh the sinks because atmospheric CO2 is increasing globally by roughly 2 parts per million by volume per year, as can be seen in the NOAA measurements of atmospheric CO2. CO2 is even higher in cities and industrial areas, in places where fossil fuels are being burnt in quantity. The easiest way for us to reduce the carbon dioxide levels is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This is the scientific consensus view, and is the view held by the IPCC, all major scientific bodies and national academies of science around the world.

How is fossil fuel bad?

Fossil fuel is bad because it is not reusable. Once we take all of it from the earth, there won't be any left. To make energy, the fossil fuels must be burnt. The smoke that is released after it is burnt has carbon dioxide and other chemicals that are harmful to nature.

What affects the earth's climate?

Burning fossil fuels as when they are burnt if gives out poisonous gases which then works with the green house effect, which then is destroying the ozone layer so more of the suns raise and heat is reaching the earth, increasing the climate on earth,.
