Global warming is a natural thing that happens over a long periods of time. Science hasn’t shown how humans could help. We would be affected if we try to create laws to reduce carbon emissions because we wouldn’t be able to produce the things the people need to go about their daily lives. Also, we would be wasting time when we could be using that time to create laws that would help the people. It will also result in price increases for the public and government if we try to decrease carbon emissions.
How this relates to Pulaski:
This school is doing well and has no need to worry about global warming. The students should use the time they have to worry about school and not the environment.
Coal is a resource that is formed and found underground. Coal is formed millions of years ago when earth was covered in giant swampy forest. When all the plants died they sink to the bottom of the swampy lake and form a layer. Soon more plants grow and it sinks and forms another layer. This process continues to happen for some time and as that process happens water and dirt washes in the layers to create heat and pressure on the bottom layers. This heat and pressure produced chemicals and different changes in the layers that forced out oxygen and left carbon deposits. In time material that had been plants became coal. Coal is classified in three ranks lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite.
Lignite is the lowest rank of coal which has the lowest carbon in it. Lignite is used to generate electricity
Bituminous is the intermediate rank or also known as soft coal. More than 80% of it is burned for electricity
Anthracite is the highest rank of coal which means it has the highest carbon content. It is mostly used for heating homes
Coal relates to Pulaski because it is what gives us our electricity and heat and I think we are fine because there is nothing we can really do to slow down or improve are electricity and heating source.
Gas can come from one liquid substance which are used by us the people, we use gas for cars. We get gas from oil, the way we get gas from oil by putting Crude oil into a factory, then it turns it into gasoline(what we use today for cars) from the water, oil and gas mixture. But before the oil is transported into a mechanic gadget that has the water,oil and gas mixture that removes the water from the gas and from the oil. Also,for separating the oil and the gas is by using a process of heating, also known the treater unit.
Oil is better than any renewable source of energy, and because of the new technology today we can easily drill into the earth and locate oil to use it for everyday mechanics. Its easy we could own all oil resources if we put ourselves to the job, I mean seriously we could be swimming in it.
Fun Fact:
Did you know oil is made by organisms like plankton and varieties of small plants?
When we burn oil and use it to create energy and electric power, it almost always costs less than clean energy like wind and solar power. So why not just use oil right? If we use wind and solar energy we would have to depend and request imports from other countries.
If we use drills and oil we would not have to depend on other countries. They would depend on us for resources. Plus the other countries would raise prices of resources if we buy.
