Introduction

Urban sprawl has turned out to be a controversial issue in recent times due to the rate at which green spaces are disappearing in most of the cities, especially in the United States. Nnaemeka-Okeke (2016) describes urban sprawl as the expansion of a community devoid of concern for the environmental impact. In other words, urban sprawl is the uncontrolled expansion of the metropolitan areas. This phenomenon primarily results in the extinction of green spaces and a variety of environmental consequences. Banai and DePriest (2014) maintain that urban sprawl is considered a cause of the climate change, with environmental effects ...

Increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, erratic rainfall, deadly tsunamis, flooding, wildfires, heat waves, shrinking glaciers, and droughts are some visible highlights of a much debated global problem, i.e., the global warming. The problem is so severe that scientists, environmentalists, geographers, government officials, and various national and international tribunals huddle together time-to-time to embark on a sustainable solution to this issue. Nonetheless, the predicament persists putting everything (human beings, animals, birds, societies, environmental resources) in the soup. This paper discusses the impacts of global warming and the efficacy of solutions that are being implemented at national and global levels. Taking ...

Introduction

Sharp Park, which is named after George Sharp, has a long, rich history. Mr. Sharp owned a more than 400-acre estate that he established with a vision for the San Francisco residents to enjoy recreation in a natural setting. When he died together with his wife, the property was left to the San Francisco City Council under strict instructions that it would only be used for recreational purposes. Sharp Park is in California off Highway 1 along the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco. It has existed since 1917; the golf course was established in 1930s. In 1941-internment camp was established ...

Feasibility Study on Solutions to efficiently power an electrical vehicle Abstract “Feasibility Study on Solutions to Efficiently Power and Charge Electrical Vehicles” The future of electric vehicles needs to shift toward the use of solar charging stations which can increase the feasibility of electric vehicles outside of urban areas. The solar powered charging stations can revolutionize the way the world views vehicles powered by renewable energy sources. These solar stations can be placed in rural areas which can allow the drivers to store and charge their vehicle, which will minimize the prevalence of vehicles being stranded without access to ...

Research Question- Why is it a problem if the earth’s average temperature gets a little warmer?

1.1 Results The average rising temperature can have vast impacts only by slight increase. The vast impact the average temperature can have can be shown with the average temperature in the last ice age, when the average temperatures were only around 5 degrees Celsius lower than today’s average temperatures. From the Figure 1 it is seen that the global average temperature, which combines the surface and ocean temperature have been on the rise and have reached the highest levels in the ...

Global warming is the rise in average global temperatures. The rise in global temperatures is occasioned by the emission of greenhouses gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and nitrogen oxides. The gases are released from industrial process that combust fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, and petrol. Such processes include generation of electrical energy in thermal power stations, burning of coal in industrial boilers, and combustion of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines. When these greenhouse gases are emitted, they rise to upper levels of the atmosphere and form a layer that blankets the earth. This layer ...

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

Executive Summary In this study, the city wanted to determine the economic value of the Sharp Park and the surrounding coastal trail. Instinctively, one may think of lost revenues, or possible income which may be generated by keeping the golf course. However, in the study, it has been determined that the amount earned from the golf course is actually much lesser than the amount required to maintain such. In fact, the city does not even earn from such property. The expense is greater than the revenues generated. But in the course of the research, it has been ascertained that ...

Sharp Park named after George Sharp has such a long history. Mr. Sharp had more than 400-acre estate that he established. When he died together with his wife, the property was left to the San Francisco City Council under strict instructions that it would only be used for recreational purposes. Sharp Park is in California off Highway 1 along the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco. It has existed since 1917; the golf course was established in 1930's. In 1941-internment camp was established in the park that provided medical service, food, shelter and employment opportunities to San Francisco residents. When Pearl ...

Introduction

Sharp Park and Golf Course is located on the sea front in San-Francisco. The park has a beach front view with holes 3 and 4 located right at the beach and a coastal trail passing adjacent to these two holes. The golf course in Pacifica is under the ownership of the government of San-Francisco. This prime piece of property generates a modest amount of revenue for the state. There has been a recent debate on whether the golf course should remain in operation with rising sea levels and erosion of the beachfront property threatens to engulf the whole course. ...

Introduction:

The debate surrounding global warming is important due to the growing concern of potential consequences for not only humans, but all that inhabit the Earth. A changing climate produces uncertainty regarding the future, which places a great deal of stress on human institutions as well as the natural ecosystem. However, others argue that the effects on the environment are primarily natural processes and were not impacted by human behavior. In assessing the current state of research regarding this debate a better understanding of the contribution that various activities have on the climate can be attained. This can help to ...
