Observations: USA and World Focus-

 

*Tibetan Monk had taken pictures of the Himalayas for 50 years. And it was demonstrative that was a problem with the levels of Snow falls and the amount of snow fall had lessen in the mountains. LA Times

​

*Additionally, water rainfall patterns changed dramatically in most states higher and much lower in agricultural states.

​

*Pollution of our rivers and environment increased to alarming levels.

In Europe they banned as many as 1,300 plus chemicals. In the USA they continue to use those chemicals. Many Publications

 

*Quality of drinking water has now affected many cities in the USA. Follow at what commercial companies do. It will give you a taste. One food conglomerate from Switzerland has purchased the rights of many bottle natural water company brands in the USA and Europe. 

• Unsafe water is responsible for 1.2 million deaths each year.

• 6% of deaths in low-income countries are the result of unsafe water sources.

• One-in-four people do not have access to safe drinking water.

• 6% of the world does not have access to an improved water source.

*Studies have shown that this period of human existence has garnered many negative awards for the increase of Greenhouse Gases. What is not known, although true, that there has been shown the Carbon Dioxide levels were higher 10,000 to 100,000 years ago. This did not account for the man and animal made gases that  are even more dangerous to our atmosphere. Methane and NO.

"Greenhouse gases have far-ranging environmental and health effects. They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases." May 13, 2019 National Geographic.

​

"Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and certain synthetic chemicals, trap some of the Earth's outgoing energy, thus retaining heat in the atmosphere. This heat trapping causes changes in the radiative balance of the Earth—the balance between energy received from the sun and emitted from Earth—that alter climate and weather patterns at global and regional scales.

Multiple lines of evidence confirm that human activities are the primary cause of the global warming of the past 50 years.1 Natural factors, such as variations in the sun's output, volcanic activity, the Earth's orbit, the carbon cycle, and others, also affect Earth's radiative balance. However, beginning in the late 1700s, the net global effect of human activities has been a continual increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.

This change in concentrations causes warming and is affecting various aspects of climate, including surface air and ocean temperatures, precipitation, and sea levels. Human health, agriculture, water resources, forests, wildlife, and coastal areas are all vulnerable to climate change.

Many greenhouse gases are extremely long-lived in the atmosphere, with some remaining airborne for tens to hundreds of years after being released. These long-lived greenhouse gases become globally mixed in the atmosphere and their concentrations reflect past and recent contributions from emissions sources worldwide. Others, like tropospheric ozone, have a relatively short lifetime in the atmosphere." US EPA https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/greenhouse-gases

*Methane is a powerful greenhouses gas with a 100-year global warming potential 28-34 times that of CO2.  Measured over a 20-year period, that ratio grows to 84-86 times.
About 60% of global methane emissions are due to human activities. The main sources of anthropogenic methane emissions are the oil and gas industries, agriculture (including fermentation, manure management, and rice cultivation), landfills, wastewater treatment, and emissions from coal mines. Fossil fuel production, distribution and use are estimated to emit 110 million tonnes of methane annually.    unece.org

*The types of marine pollution can be grouped as pollution from marine debris, plastic pollution, including microplastics, ocean acidification, nutrient pollution, toxins and underwater noise. Another concern is the runoff of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from intensive agriculture, and the disposal of untreated or partially treated sewage to rivers and subsequently oceans. These nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients (which are also contained in fertilizers) stimulate phytoplankton and macroalgal growth, which can lead to harmful algal blooms (eutrophication) which can be harmful to humans as well as marine creatures. Excessive algal growth can also smother sensitive coral reefs and lead to loss of biodiversity and coral health. A second major concern is that the degradation of algal blooms can lead to consumption of oxygen in coastal waters, a situation that may worsen with climate change as warming reduces vertical mixing of the water column. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_pollution

*Environmental: Increased efficiency can lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants, as well as decrease water use. Economic: Improving energy efficiency can lower individual utility bills, create jobs, and help stabilize electricity prices and volatility. Jul 13, 2022 USEPA

Benefits of Energy Efficiency

Using energy more efficiently is one of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs, and meet growing energy demand. The many benefits of energy efficiency include:

• Environmental: Increased efficiency can lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants, as well as decrease water use.

• Economic: Improving energy efficiency can lower individual utility bills, create jobs, and help stabilize electricity prices and volatility.

• Utility System Benefits: Energy efficiency can provide long-term benefits by lowering overall electricity demand, thus reducing the need to invest in new electricity generation and transmission infrastructure.

• Risk Management: Energy efficiency also helps diversify utility resource portfolios and can be a hedge against uncertainty associated with fluctuating fuel prices. USEPA
