5. How do we know that the fossil fuel burning was done by humans?

6. Besides greenhouse gases, list three other factors that could conceivably account for a warming atmosphere.

Expert Solution

5. Fossil fuels are the natural resources of energy but on the other hand, these fossil fuels are also one of the major causes of carbon dioxide. Regarding the recent climate change and global warming in the world, carbon dioxide is playing an important role and most of the carbon dioxide is coming from the burning of fossil fuel. This fact has been proved by the isotopic study of the atmospheric carbon, that most of the carbon dioxide is coming from the burning of fossil fuel. And as a matter of fact, the human is the only intelligent and conscious animal living on this planet, who can utilize the natural resources for his/her own benefit. Hence it is proved that fossil fuels are burning by the human.

6. Excess amounts of fossil fuel burning at releasing carbon dioxide and other minute air pollutants are one of the major causes of global warming. Deforestation and destroying the rain forest can cause severe global warming in the recent future. Besides these excess amounts of water vapour in the atmosphere can also cause global warming, because water has the maximum specific heat capacity which can trap a huge amount of heat in it. Have you ever noticed a bitter hotness on a cloudy day!! Now a days scientists are xpecting that extreme weather can also cause global warming.

The USA depends heavily on the burning of fossil fuels to provide the electricity we need many renewable resources are used to generate the electricity but this only accounts for 5.6% off all the electricity produced in the USA. Explain how you think we should generate electricity in the future. Your opinion should include: 1. What methods you think we should use. 2. An exploration of how they work including the energy transformations that are occurring. 3. The advantages and...

9. How do we know whether or not global warming is caused by humans? From experiments in which a small experimental plot of forest is subjected to excess carbon, and the growth of the trees along with the temperature are then measured. From experiments in which excess carbon is injected into a laboratory-created Earth-like atmosphere, and the resulting temperature is measured. From computer calculations that "predict" 20th-century temperatures based on natural variations, then on human-caused variations, and then on a...

How do we know the answer for that? The answer is 6. You perform a Q-test on a particular data point and obtain a Q value of 0.67. How many data points would you need to be able to reasonably discard this data point as erroneous?

We know that as humans we are going to make mistakes. There is simply no way around that fact. Should we be nervous about making errors? As auditors, what should we think when we see an error? In other words, when we see an error, do we always think fraud? Is there a way to tell the difference? Is an auditor responsible for finding errors?

5. Suppose you wanted to hasten the transition from a depletable fossil fuel to solar energy. Compare the effects of a per-unit tax on the depletable resource to an equivalent per-unit subsidy on solar energy. Would they produce the same switch point? Why or why not?

describe how burning fossil fuels and deforestation each contribute to global climate change? The description must directly address global climate change and not the other ways humans impact the environment.

ENERGY STRATEGY How the expanded use of biofuels,in place of fossil fuel, was thought in theory to be able to slow the buildup of greenhouses gases in the atmosphere. Briefly describe two unexpected results that the mandated use of corn ethanol in the United States has had on the global environment and/or population. How the coal panics in Great Britain at the end of the 1800s are similar in two ways to the oil panics of recent years,specifically just before...

Hallstead Jewelers What have we done? Daddy would know what to do, but I don't. I really thought growing this business would be an easy thing for us, but now I am not so sure. All of the work that we did in 2005 was supposed to set us up for new success, profits, and a bright future. But now, we are showing losses on both the historical investment and on our modernization and expansion. Gretchen Reeves was talking in...
