*Peak oil is when oil is being extracted from the earth and becomes scarce.
*Because of fossil fuel energy use, the climate is changing. Our summers are getting hotter and our winters are colder, these are major contributions to global warming. In Antarctica, the ice caps are slowly melting faster and our sea levels are rising. *Our world, currently, consists of too much carbon dioxide which is the cause for the hole in the ozone layer and also the strong UV rays from the sun that is melting the ice caps in Antarctica. Fossil fuel energy use, carbon emissions and global warming are the reasons for climate change.
Peak oil is where the maximum rate of the world-wide oil extraction reaches its geological limits and begins to decline rapidly. Therefore the oil becomes much harder to extract, causing costs of oil to rise while the amount of oil produced decreases.
Fossil fuels are formed by natural resources such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. Some fossil fuels especially coal; petroleum and natural gas contain high amounts of carbon. These fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are burned. Carbon emission is the releasing of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Global warming is where the overall temperature of the planet is increasing, causing our seas to be warmer and the ice caps in Antarctica to melt. Climate change is the change in weather patterns over a period of time.
The carbon dioxide released from the fossil fuels contributes to the hole in the ozone layer causing more harmful UV rays to penetrate the earth. This also effects global warming as the temperature of the planet raises, also causing climate to change where there are more extreme natural events such as cyclones and tsunamis.
Peak oil is when the world’s oil is at its highest level. It then starts to rapidly decrease.
Fossil fuel is a form of nature that gives us power from the buried dead. It contains a high quantity of carbon, coal, petroleum and natural gases. The burning of fossil fuels is released into the atmosphere and therefore plants and trees are absorbing the carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can be trapped under the earth’s surface for many years. Furthermore, carbon emission links into other processors such as global warming and climate change. The natural gases that are released into the atmosphere increases the earth’s temperature; changing the climate and making summers become hotter and the winters become colder. This is the sign of global warming accumulating quickly.
Peak oil is the time when the manufacture of oil in the world is at its highest level and from there on rapidly decreases. The burning of fossil fuel releases high percentages of carbon which is trapped in the atmosphere which then contributes to the growing of the ozone layer furthermore, our summers become hotter and winters become colder which in some cases increases the death toll. A vast amount of ice in Antarctica is melting because of the growing gases in our atmosphere therefore the sea levels rise and low lying areas such as the Pacific Islands will be covered in water. Carbon emissions and climate change contribute to global warming in a huge way.
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline.
Fossil fuels take millions of years to make. We are using up the fuels that were made more than 300 million years ago. Once they are gone they are gone. So, it's best to not waste fossil fuels. They are not renewable; they can't really be made again. and its causing climate change.In our planet we consists of too much carbon dioxide which causes the hole in the ozone layer and the strong UV rays to avoid the sun melting the ice caps in Antarctica..
Peak oils where the maximum rate of the worldwide oil extraction reaches its highest level and its limited therefore the oil becomes more expensive to purchase and the amount of oil we get become less.
Because of the amount of fossil fuel used and burnt, fuel releases high carbon in to the atmosphere trapping those carbons causing climate changes thefore making our summer much hotter and our winters colder so in Antarctica the ice is slowly melting away causing our sea level to increase and if Antarctica continue to melt our homes and little precious pacific islands such as Samoa Tonga cook island and more will get flooded and soon will be covered by sea. The natural gases that are burned and released into the atmosphere increase the earth temperature.
Peak oil is a point that at a time when maximum rate of global petroleum is reached the rate of production enters a terminal decline.
The difference is because our globe is experiencing a major change. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rising dramatically. The ice caps are melting faster, our sea levels are rising, and patterns are changing. More water shortages and frequency. Deserts will expand and the world will have difficulty growing food and water. Without hesitation, we have to change the way we live.
Peak oil is when oil is being scarce after it's been extracted from earth, though the cost of oil is increasing it is causing the oil produce to decrease.
Fossil fuel is formed by natural gases such as anaerobic decompotion of buried dead organisms. Fossil fuel contains high percentages of coal, petroleum and natural gas. As we can see in Antartica,the ice caps are slowly melting due to climate change.The sea is rising which will soon cover the little islands.
peak oil is where the worldwide production of oil extraction is recognised as a finite natural resource due to the decline in the amounts of oil we have available.
Fossil fuel energy use such as gas and coal are harmful to the environment and humanity as when used they release carbon dioxde. Carbon dioxide in the air leads to the issue of air pollution which goes on to affect or increase global warming therefore the temperature and level of the sea will rise and the rate of the metling of ice in the antarctic will increase aswell.
Fossil fuel energy sources affect the climate which is why there is hotter summers and colder winters
Peak oil is when in time reached their maximum rate of Petroleum extraction after which it enters terminal decline. It’s also when you extracted from the earth. Usually the oil field exponentially until the rate of peaks and then declines-sometimes it rapidly-Until the field is depleted. Peak oil is often confused with Oil depletion, peak oil is at the point of maximum production while Oil depletion refers to the falling reserves and supply. Oil depletion happens in the second half of the production curve of an oil well, oil field or the average total of oil production. The Hubbert theory makes the prediction of the production rates basic on the prior discovery and the anticipated rates.
The optimistic estimation of peak production forecast that the global begins by 2020 or later. The major investment is in the alternatives that will occur before a crisis without the requiring major changes in lifestyle of heavily oil-consuming nations.
In 2007 the primary sources of energy consisted of 36.0% petroleum, 27.4% coal, 23.0% natural gas ads up to 86.4% which shares the fossil fuel. In 2006 they included the Non-fossil 6.3% Hydroelectric, 8.5% Nuclear and others one like geothermal, solar, tide, wind, wood and waste amounting to 0.9 percent.
Peak Oil is the simplest label for the problem of energy resource depletion, or more specifically, the peak in global oil production. Oil is not a renewable energy source, and therefore can and will be exhausted at some point in the future.Peak oil is the time when the manufacture of oil in the world is at its highest piont and therefore rapidly decreases.
The carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is slowly rising due to the burning of fossil fuels. Theoretically this leads to global warming and inevitable climate changes. The consensus of the scientific community is that burning fossil fuels at the current rate is contributing directly to global warming and the subsequent climate changes have important consequences, particularly economic and other effects on communities around the world.
Global warming is caused primarily by carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and gas. Certain gases that trap heat are building up in Earth's atmosphere. While Earth's climate has changed naturally throughout time, the current rate of change due to human activity is unprecedented during at least the last 10,000 years. The projected range of temperature rise is wide because it includes a variety of possible future conditions, such as whether or not we control greenhouse gas emissions and different ways the climate system might respond.
Peak Oil is a term referring to when the production of oil reaches its highest capacity and then starts to decline rapidly. US geologist M. King Hubbert invented the Peak Oil concept referring to the idea that the oil will eventually run out as oil is a non- renewable energy source. We have used about half of the world’s oil leaving us with at least another 50 years of oil.The result of Saudi Arabia announcing that they were not able to produce enough oil to keep up with the growing global demand in July 2005 caused the peak oil concept to surface. The depletion of oil causes prices to rise over the worry of the remaining oil stock.
Fossil fuels are energy sources such as coal, oil and gas. Fossil Fuels supply majority of the world’s energy. The problem with fossil fuels is their huge environmental impact. The burning of fossil fuels releases tonnes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in to the environment every year. Carbon emission is a term referring to the releasing of these polluting carbon substances into the environment. With the rise of carbon dioxide in the air it affects planet earth by creating a hole in the ozone layer allowing harmful UV rays to penetrate the earth. When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it traps the heat obtained from the sun and does not let it go beyond the atmosphere. As a result of the increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) the average temperature of the earth has increased which is known as global warming.
Peak Oil is the time when the world’s production of oil is at its highest level and its rapidly decreasing. After peak oil, it will decline steady, year after year, until it is no longer economical to produce oil.
Burning fossil fuel produces high percentage of carbon which is trapped in the Atmosphere causing the ozone layer to form a wider hole. This will cause Global warming, Climate change, our summer will be hotter and our winter will be colder and when global warming happens Antarctica will melt and sea level will rise and it will flooded all the islands in the world.
Global warming has lead to climate change. Climate change involves the alterations in the world’s weather patterns and temperatures. Climate Change has had a major impact on the earth. We are experiencing hotter summers and colder winters. In addition, glaciers/ ice caps are melting causing our sea levels to rise. On top of that, extreme natural events like hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are increasing in frequency and ferocity.
if you were wondering what peak oil is; well...you've read the right post. Peak oil simply means that we have reached the capacity limit of the oil in earth. if you didn't quite understand that, it means that we are running low on oil and that were about to reach the limit of how much more we can deplete.
Climate change is due to the unavoidable fact of us humans Burning fossil fuels which release large portions of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. This keeps heat from the sun trapped within the atmosphere of earth.
Global warming is due to Large Carbon emissions from all around the world. The carbon emissions keep the Heat of the sun in earths atmosphere which raises earths Temperature. this causes the melting of the Ice Caps. When these melt; low-lying lands will be more affected than big countries like china (World's most highest carbon emitters).
All of the above is caused by 2 major things. 1: that we are destroying trees and we breathe out Carbon dioxide which trees take in and give us back Oxygen
And 2: That every single day, everywhere around the world everyone is burning fossil fuels for everyday use. and the outcomes of this are more than we can control.
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. This concept is based on the observed production rate of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of the field of related oil wells. Fossil fuel Coal, oil and gas are called “fossil fuels” because they have been formed the organic remains of prehistoric plant and animals. Fossil fuel is a non -renewable energy. Carbon emission is a greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG?) This is a list of sovereign states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity. The effect of all this extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is that the overall temperature of the planet is increasing (global warming). Whilst the average global temperature is increasing, on a day-to-day level the climate is changing in unpredictable ways (from floods and hurricanes to heat waves and droughts). To try and reduce the risk of ever more extreme weather, we need to reduce how much fossil fuel we are burning. This isn't easy.
