Algae Bio Fuel

According to the article the biofuel project algae transform the fuels of the vehicles. Developing this project will reduce the amount of carbon in the air. The production of this method the “algal biofuels”, will become a “commercial reality in 2020”. The director of Carbon Trust says we must find cost-effective and sustainable alternative resources for the vehicles. The government is taking action to do this and will decrease the released energy around the earth in 2050. Ed Gallagher of the Fuels Agency found a true route to “produce sustainable biofuels”. There are many species of algae and they reproduce themselves, which reduces the cost of algae biofuel.

The main Idea:

• Change fuel to algae
• Find a way to reduce the carbon in the air
• Find a new source that can clean the environment

Comments:

I agree with the fact that they should use algae as the new source. I also think they should find other ways different than using algae method. Also try finding out a different source that doesn’t affect the environment. And I would like to know more about the article itself if there are any details about it and if they are any articles related to it in different sectors of the information. Also more about algae and where does it come from where it is found and all its details.

Undiscovered Resources in the Icy Waters

Summary:
According to the Article Hans Island occupied by Canada and Denmark is an important base for the routes of the Shipping Industries. The melting ice in the North Pole has many riches. It will create routes, and destroy the wildlife that inhabits there and the tribes. A lot of riches will be taken from the industries and will become a shipping transport through these routes. Travels will become short in distances to different locations, will be saving time. Quarters of the world resources in the North Pole haven’t been discovered and found yet. Generally, the seas have been held positions by government, industries and business. All of the Government, industries and businesses have taken action to discover these resources because of the increased melting of ice at the North Pole. Overall, the countries are focusing to grab the resources such as oils, gasses and diamonds. And not think of the disastrous that will come later on.
Main Idea:
That the countries and business wants the resources and don’t care about the melting of the ice.
Opinion:
My opinion on this article it is a good article because it says that the business and government doesn’t really care about global warming and destruction of this planet and all they can think of is money.

Oppinion On The Inconvenient Truth

I have seen the video of Inconvenient Truth, and my opinion on this video is that it is really an excellent video, because most of the things that are related to Global Warming have been explained in a professional way, and show us what is happening to the world. Another major thing in this video is that it showed the disastrous things that might occur in the future if this problem continues. A lot of people will be dying and will become refugees. It even showed that many of the most scenic places around the world have been erased on the planet because of Global Warming and the next generation will not be able to view these amazing places in their times. Also one more important thing is the animal extinction that has been occurring in the past few years and new diseases have been developed. Al Gore explained that most of the animals have been affected by the earth's atmosphere. Also he explained that new diseases have been evolving now and are uncontrollable. In addition to this, global warming is also caused by pollution of carbon dioxide that is evaporating in the air and is destroying the ozone layer and thickening the atmosphere. Al Gore explained in the video that this is caused by the increase of greenhouse and manufacturing products and also burning of fossil fuels. Gore said we can solve this problem by using natural resources and many other things to stop global warming. In the end, he also mentions that it us that should decide if we want to stop global warming or not.

An Introduction to Global Warming


The world is becoming hotter and hotter every year, and climate change has been occurring frequently around the globe. This is because of Global Warming.

Global Warming affects our daily life everywhere. It has created a lot of disastrous things around the world such as hurricanes, heavy rainfall that never stops and most of all the extinction of some rare species that still exist today. Some major changes about this are because of the industries, the increase of greenhouse gases, and resources that affect the environment. Air is filled with pollutant gases. Some of the organizations around the world have taken action on this matter, by trying to figure out a way to stop global warming. Others have started using renewable resources, recycling, and the protection of the environment. In the end, Global Warming is the cause of a lot of problems to the world. However, scientists might solve this problem in the near future.
