Why is it not accurate to call the electricity produced by burning hydrogen in power stations carbon free electricity?
It is not accurate to call the electricity being produce 'carbon free' because for the transaction to work parts of carbon dioxide are being pumped into the system.
How do Nuclear Power plants help us?
By producing electricity, which we all use, and not producing carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
What has Climate change got to do with supplying energy?
If energy is obtained from fossil fuels (by burning petroleum (oil), or carbon), then that will increase the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is generally believed to increase the average temperature on Earth.
Hypercapnia causes minute ventilation to?
increase as the minute ventilation is the amount of carbon dioxide
How is a nuclear power station different to a fossil fuelled power station?
Nuclear power produces clean electricity without any carbon dioxide emissions.Fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power produces electricity with carbon dioxide emissions which are causing global warming and climate change.
What is an increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
Why is the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide less than the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced by burning of fossil fuels?
Because trees consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
An increase in atmospheric leads to an increase in the greenhouse effect.?
carbon dioxide
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to What?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the biggest contributor to?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What are two ways that the burning of rainforests leads to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The burning of rainforests releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, as the combustion of anything does.When the rainforests are destroyed they no longer are able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.Both these things lead to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
Why are atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are expected to increASE doing the future?
Idk why don't you just google it dummy
How can ethanol reduce carbon emissions?
Ethanol is a fuel made from plants. When we burn this fuel, it does emit carbon dioxide, but of course this was originally absorbed from the atmosphere by the plants, so there is no net increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide no matter how much ethanol we use (apart from a small amount produced by generating electricity used in the production of the ethanol). A disadvantage of using ethanol for motor fuel is that its production competes with food crops.
What is the relationship betwee carbon dioxide and atmospheric temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning that as atmospheric levels of it rise, the temperature should gradually increase. This has, in fact, been observed.
What human activity releases large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the environment?
Sulfur dioxide is produced by the burning of coal to produce electricity. Nearly 2/3 of the sulfur dioxide produced is through the burning of fossil fuels.
