World's Fish Supply Running Out
... global economy. Scientists are in disagreement as to whether the solution to this problem is applying restrictions on overfishing or increasing the amount of farmed fish. In fact, some scientists disregard this study as entirely inadequate and overly pessimistic. This article demonstrates that the ...
Nuclear Energy Is an Answer to Global Warming
... nuclear energy the answer to global warming?'Nuclear power plants use the heat given off during fission as fuel. Fission takes place inside the reactor of a nuclear power plant, where it generates heat. The heat is used to boil water into steam. The steam turns huge turbine blades ...

Greenhouse Gasses
... the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are the cause of global warming. To make the world more habitable for humans and animals, the greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring part of the earth's climate. There is a natural balance in the incoming solar radiation that heats up the ...
