How Solar Energy Minimizes Climate Change
The world is experiencing the impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and extreme weather events. One of the leading causes of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, which is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. However, there is
Rescue Our Community, Rescue Our Planet
Our water cycle, which refers to how water circulates on our globe, is being impacted by climate change. Dry areas are becoming drier while wet areas are becoming more wet. However, the amount of rain we receive now tends to come in more heavy downpours, increasing the risk
Climate Change in Tourism, Industry & Agriculture.
Agriculture is one of the most vital sectors in the world, and it is also one of the most vulnerable to climate change. The changing weather patterns are leading to unpredictable rainfall, droughts, and floods, which are severely impacting crop yields. In developing countries, where the majority of
How Climate Change Affects Sea level Rise
Sea level rise is one of the most visible and pressing consequences of climate change. As global temperatures continue to rise, glaciers and ice sheets are melting, causing sea levels to rise. In this article, we will explore how sea level rise is affected by climate change, its
The Impact of the Paris Climate Change Agreement in the United States
The United States, under the Obama administration, joined the Paris Agreement in 2015 and committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2025. However, in June 2017, the Trump administration announced its intention to withdraw from the agreement (Shear). In April 2021, President Joe
Solar Energy and Its Challenges
The Sun is a powerful source of energy. The energy emitted from the sun can be converted into various renewable energies. Solar energy is an increasingly popular form of renewable energy that can be harnessed to mitigate the impacts of climate change. As a clean source of energy
A Cleaner Future With Carbon Capture
Throughout my years in college studying mechanical engineering, I was fortunate enough to be offered multiple research projects, including those that were key solutions to climate change. The most recent project I was involved in was research into carbon capture and storage. I researched materials that are capable
Artificially Altering the Earth Climate
When the temperature continues to rise, glaciers and ice sheets melt, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level rising causes problems for coastal communities. It leads to flooding and erosion. With the alteration of the weather, it has become less predictable, as temperature changes can
Solar Power Technology and Mitigating Climate Change
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today, and it is clear that action needs to be taken to mitigate its effects. Solar power technology has emerged as a leading solution with numerous benefits that make it an attractive option for homeowners,
How is Climate Change Affecting the U.S., My Home Country
Climate change is effecting the United States in various ways, with significant impacts on the environment, economy, and public health. Here are a few examples: Rising temperatures; the average temperature in the United States has increased by about 1.8°F (1.0°C) since the beginning of the 20th century, with
What Is the Impact of Architecture On Climate Change? By City Tech Blogger Daniel Rojas
Climate change has been significantly influenced by architecture. A significant amount of the world’s energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions are caused by buildings. As the global population continues to increase, so does the demand for resources. It is the duty of architects and builders to create buildings
What Can Students Do About Climate Change? By City Tech Blogger Yikai Wu
We as students are quite limited in what we can do to help slow, stop or solve climate change, but that does not mean there isn’t anything we can do. Some examples are to spread awareness of climate change, reduce the usage of gas cars by walking or
