Industrial Revolution and Global temperatures
Level of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere, as later measured in ancient ice, is about 290 ppm (parts per million).This means global temperature 1850-1870 is about 13.6°C.The Industrial Revolution had many achievements such as Coal, railroads, and land clearing speed up greenhouse gas emission. While better agriculture and sanitation speed up population growth do to. -
Carbon Dioxide in atmosphere
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today is 40% higher than at the start of the industrial revolution.
Each of the past 10 years- 2001 through 2010- was among the 11 warmest on record. -
John Tyndal, The start
John Tyndall said that gases like water and CO2 exist in the atmosphere. This gas in the atmosphere acts s an insulater. The mgas holds in heat and oxygen.He discovered that CO2 ansd water effectly block heat radation. -
First commercial oil
The first commercial oil wells appeared in the mid-19th century. It costs of valuable commodity and is extremely high. Following a major boom, the prices fell sharply and remained relatively stable through much of the 20th century. In the 1970s, however, petroleum shortages caused prices to rocket. This was followed by an oil "glut" in the 1980s which saw prices fall again, a trend which continued until the end of the century. -
Global Warming becomes better known
Global warming becomes better known. Many scientist say that the earth tempture is rising. Tempture has risen a coulpe degreese ofer the last two centurys. Scientists say that as The more we burn things the more the tempture will rise. If humans cut down on the manufacturing then we will stop global warming. -
Explination of the Ice Age
In 1922, a man named Milutin Milankovich found a possible explanation for the Ice Ages; he guessed that orbital changes caused the Ice Ages. On January 24, 1966; there were evidences that orbital changes caused the Ice Ages. Some of this evidence was found in the coral reefs on the seabeds. -
Fear of Glodle Warming
1985 was a bigh year. Ramanathan and collaborators announce that global warming may come twice as fast as expected, from rise of methane and other trace greenhouse gases. Other gases Villach Conference declares consensus among experts that some global warming seems inevitable, he calls on governments to consider international agreements to restrict -
Industrial production
In 2010, China became the largest energy consumer in the world, overtaking the USA. Its development as an industrialised country means that this soaring energy demand will continue for some time to come. Its economic growth is spurring a massive increase in car production (15,000 being added to its roads every day), not to mention buildings and infrastructure (which includes a new power plant every week). -
Climate Change Conference
People meet in Coperhagen. This time 192 nations gathered with the UN. They came up with a plan. They now have an international soloution to slow down global warming. -
ITER's affect
The ITER's will use a magnetic confinement device called a tokamak. It is a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber generates a powerful magnetic field. It will prevent heat from touching the reactor's walls. Tiny quantities of fuel will be injected into and trapped within the chamber. It will be heated to 100 million degrees forming a plasma charge at such high temperatures of atomic nuclei of hydrogen.
