Content Greenhouse gases Coal Nuclear Energy My Opinion

Greenhouse gases Water vapor

+ Carbon dioxide

+ Methane

+ Nitrous = Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gases Global warming (melting ice, high sea levels and change in climate) Greenhouse gases (Carbon dioxide)

Burning of fossil fuels (coal ,oil and natural gas)

Coal Coal releases more CO2 then oil and gases. The largest coal production countries Have the largest carbon footprint Example: China, United States, Canada

Nuclear Energy 

Atoms are split and energy is produced, the energy is transformed into electricity Advantages

Disadvantages



It produces energy more that fossil fuel burning.



Nuclear weapons more available



Does not release greenhouse gases.



Radiation Hazards

My Opinion Balancing the advantages and disadvantages Nuclear Energy is a great worldwide solution to global warming as it releases no or very little greenhouse gases and produces more energy.
