This book makes reference to the elusiveness of global warming as it makes emphasis on the current debate on global warming. The book gives answers to people’s inquisition as to whether the effects of global warming are just a myth or reality. Marcel Leroux makes an attempt to draw the line between fact and fiction in the debate on climate change
According to climatologists, the recent trends of fatal storms, the rise in Asia region’s sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice, the raging forest fires, and even the increase in the prevalence of diseases in some places are just a few of the early and visible attributable effects of global warming -- threatening life on Earth as we know it.

One critical solution to environmentally ethical and controversial dilemmas like the issues encompassing nuclear power is to enhance public awareness on the facts about its costs and benefits, particularly the management of nuclear wastes. Immediate and significant action is to raise awareness on conservation, which apparently, is the only viable recourse to save man’s natural resources.
The Black Saturday bushfires resulted in one of the most disastrous events in Australian history. It was brought on by natural events and spurred on by man-made actions. The hazards and risks present right before the fires were enough to spark the first light which started the fires. Although the authorities were anticipating the bushfires.
The effects of acid rain help in making the water toxic for drinking and living purposes. A high amount of suspended particles block sunlight from entering, thus obstructing the plant. Water pollution caused has severe side effects on the health of human beings. Effects of Microbial Water Pollution can lead to widespread epidemics like cholera.
The success of any environmental management plan or risk mitigation strategy in the case of the Mutton cove project is primarily dependent on extensive community involvement from all possible quarters including local residents, experts, companies and government agencies. Community involvement is a key factor of the Mutton Cove management plan.
World scientists have discovered that a combination of acidic substances and low temperatures cause chemical reactions that release chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromines that are harmful to the ozone layer. Furthermore, manufactured chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromines cause direct depletion of the ozone layer.
The author states that the main reason for the hazardous changes is global warming; where global warming is defined as the increase of the temperature of the planet. One would think that how can life be threatened by the rise of temperature on the planet. The increased temperature is causing glaciers and ice regions to be warmed up and thus meltdown.

Collectively, this has resulted in global warming which is now declared a global disaster. However, for the climatic change which is solely believed to be the cause of global warming, different viewpoints have arisen. For instance, some say that the climatic change that is global warming up the world is an implausible theory.
Anaerobic digestion is carried out in closed equipment or reactor through bacteria, and the outcome of this process in the form of gas and inorganic constituents are usually used further. The applicability of anaerobic digestion is usually for large-scale operations involving a series of processes.

The courses of the events stated are in a sense affecting the operations of coal mining industry in West Virginia and the Appalachian region. The Mountain Top removal mining method is often termed as “mountaintop mining” or “mountaintop operations”. It is a surface coal mining technique practised along the steep mountain slopes.
Over the last five to ten years, Australia’s environmental status has made significant progress. This is largely due to the Environmental Impact Assessment, a collaborative approach that seeks to “afford greater consideration to nature and the environment” (Elliott and Thomas 2009, 5). EIA’s fundamental role is to ensure ecologically sustainable development.
Climate change refers to changes in weather distribution over a period of time. Climate change may take place in a specific region or it can take place in the whole world. The problem of climate change is associated with changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and chlorofluorocarbons.

According to Kim, et.al. (2010), greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), water vapor, and fluorinated gases which all act as a “greenhouse around the earth. This means that they let the heat from the Sun into the atmosphere, but do not allow the heat to escape back into space.
The traditional theories were not equipped enough to deal with the intrinsic market phenomena. Such an event arises out of the interdependencies between markets and prices which the traditional economic theories do not take into account. This project tries to evaluate the magnitude of the economic cost involved in environmental disruption.
The first observable point with Australia’s EIA is the diversity of its process in its territories. This could mean two things: (1) Australia’s EIA process considers the particular needs of the territories, which is only consistent with the principle of flexibility; and (2) as observed also by the stakeholders, a “more strategic approach to assessment” is needed (EPA 2009, 6).

The climate of the earth has undergone phenomenal change due to ever-increasing greenhouse gases. Stern, N quotes “IPCC projects that without interventions greenhouse gas levels will rise to 550-700 ppm CO2e by 2050 and 650-1200 ppm CO2e by 2100… without mitigation, greenhouse gas levels are likely to be towards the upper end of these ranges.”
The jet dilution process is also affected by the sea's depth, and the pipe diameter used to discharge the concentrated brines. The environmental effects of desalination processes also affect marine life. The author explains the species that are devastatingly affected by desalination processes like crabs.

As the paper outlines, the wolverine is distributed in several regions surrounding the Arctic, in the Boreal Zone. Within these regions, the wolverine is versatile in terms of its habitat and is found in tundra and alpine zones, and in deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. Wolverines now reside mostly in regions north of the latitude 60°N.
The evolution of mankind has greatly affected the natural habitat of the earth. Preservation of natural habitat is necessary to prevent the extinction of flora & fauna and varieties of native animal species. The natural equilibrium has to be restored to the maximum extent possible for the welfare of the future generation.

Environmental problems cannot be tackled by the government alone. Environmental protection is the responsibility of every individual in the world. We should give priorities to the environment in which we are living and we should remember that any injudicious activities from our side not only cause problems to us
The major cause of dangerous changes is greenhouse gases. Among them, CO2 is the most important one. Other gases include methane, nitrous oxide etc, which are also found in the atmosphere of earth. These gases trap infrared and ultraviolet radiations of the sun which increases the temperature and results in global warming.

This leads the human beings to lack of agricultural lands. Everything is being affected by the environmental problems that are humans, animals, economy, environment itself, and atmosphere etc. Reversing the problems is difficult, but by taking adequate measures, further destruction can be prevented.
Almost of all the articles analyzed, very few had outright usage of visible negative language. Very few articles were outright in saying that the sustainability plans will fail and aside from a small number of articles, most were informing the readers with information through which they could themselves deduce opinions.
Global warming is an issue that should be addressed at the international level because it is posing risks to the existence of man, animals, and plants on the face of the Earth. The emission of greenhouse gases and the rise in the temperature of the atmosphere are very serious issues that need immediate and effective solutions.
It is most important that regulatory efforts shall be undertaken to punish those who contribute most to water pollution. The government can charge higher taxes or water pollution tax on such firms so that they must contribute towards the efforts of the government to reduce pollution and increase the supply of water.
It discusses why is it important to know how much climate changes occur naturally rather than as a result of human activity, is population distribution as a result of migration one of the main challenges to the world today, are the writings of Thomas Malthus still relevant to the debate on the limits of population and the idea that population growth is the main cause of the world’s problems today.
The recent global trend for climate change is now well established, with the average surface temperature on Earth rising by 0.6 plus or minus 0.2 degrees centigrade since 1900, and the temperatures appear to be escalating at levels which are much greater than what they have been in the past 1000 years. The ensuing climatic changes have also produced changes in wind velocity and direction

Australia had enjoyed low and stable energy costs in the past. However, raising capital costs and rising price increases of black coal and natural gas are already posing challenges for the future. Carbon price increases consequent to the emission trading scheme would further push up the energy costs resulting in much higher energy costs.
We knew the consequences of earthquakes now, so we should not make the same mistake again. We should prepare for it so that we have fewer losses. It had been a terrible day for me and for the people who lived through the same experience. I did not lose someone special and close to me, but I am sure that there are hundreds that had bigger losses.

The exercise not only involves identifying or controlling the hazard or risk from environmental factors in the working environment, but it also demands to be supported by a mechanism of inspection for their enforcement based on consultation offered for the work set up in scope. That has the potential to affect workers and their productivity.
With all the variables considered, from all climatic changes, particularly the temperature, the Arctic is seen to lose its periglacial character over the next 50-100 years as indicated by projections of climate change. There is already empirical evidence that points to the fact that there has been a decline in the extent of Arctic sea ice in all seasons.
