Moreover, the carbon in the coal is transformed into carbon dioxide upon combustion which accelerates the greenhouse effect and in turn global warming. - Paul Simon]]> 2021-01-14 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089025028 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089261147 Natural gas is one of the ways we generate energy, but like coal and oil, you need to burn. And once its gone, its gone. Although when burned in a plant it has significantly less CO2 emissions that coal, the amount that is burned totally overwhelms it. furthermore, not all of the natural gas that is mined gets used. Because of how costly it is to transport and refine, it is usually just burned at the dig site, releasing more pollution into the air than if it were burnt at a plant. And finally, cows. Cows were not in the article, but they still are the largest producers of methane gas. ]]> 2021-01-14 20:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089261147 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089292607 Coal is really hard to find and it is really get because you to mine it and thats not easy but when coal is being used it is being burned.When being burned coal is releasing air-born toxins.It is also releasing mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and various other heavy metals.Coal is basically releasing pollution to the environment and it is harming everything.]]> 2021-01-14 21:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089292607 dominique_luque https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089327036 Climate change is the most serious effect from the use of coal as a source of energy. Climate change has begun to destroy the world's ecosystems as Glaciers shrink, there is a loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise, and longer, more intense heat waves. The climate change isn't the only adverse affect from coal power though, the pollution is a huge issue. The burning of coal causes heavy metals to be release into the air causing health issues such as asthma, brain damage, cancer etc. The leftover ash from the coal produces more than 100 million tons of coal ash every year. This ash often ends up in ponds and lakes and contaminates waterways and drinking water supplies.]]> 2021-01-14 21:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089327036 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089409257 I would say coal is the worst impact energy because it has a huge health impact like asthma and breathing difficulties, and also brain damage, heart problems, cancer and many more. This can be huge risk to many people but the climate change is coals most serious subject chemically the coal is mostly made up with carbon but when it is burned and it reacts with oxygen in the air and becomes carbon dioxide which is a heating -trap. so when it released it goes above the earth limits. Coal can look harmless but it does the most harm to people and the climate. ]]> 2021-01-14 21:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089409257 juanpablovasquez606 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089495413 Oil and petroleum products are used to fuel vehicles and heat homes, but the effect of harvesting oil and petroleum is extremely severe. According to the article "Oil and Petroleum Products Explained: Oil and the Environment", the harvesting of oil, which is known as hydraulic fracturing, causes huge rocks to fracture with an enormous amount of water, which will eventually be discarded "by injection into deep wells, typically into saltwater aquifers. The injection of wastewater can cause earthquakes that may cause damage and are large enough to be felt". The waste of water, which could also mix with oil products and disperse chemicals into aquatic groundwater habitats, would be a huge waste for the nations that lack water. On the other hand, the use of wind energy could generate clean electricity with the use of turbines and generators, which could replace the fuel for vehicles and the methods of heating.]]> 2021-01-14 22:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1089495413 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1094603446 Climate change is coal's most serious global impact.

The carbon dioxide, a reaction from coal burning,  makes the Earth warmer than normal. This is serious because  climate change can cause droughts, flooding, extreme weather, and sea levels rising.

In addition, it created the permanent effect on earth which is the climate change that can do serious damage to it. Unlike solar energy where it only impacts the land use which is not that much of serious issue compare to coal. ]]> 2021-01-18 00:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1096409071 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1096569244 The main reason coal is the most harmful energy source is the environmental impact of climate change from carbon dioxide released when coal burns. Another reason I think it's the most harmful energy source for the environment is the air pollution. According to the article on the impact of coal, burning coal releases "...mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and various other heavy metals." While some would argue that sources like solar energy also use or create dangerous materials, with solar energy, companies have incentive to recycle these materials (according to the solar impact article), whereas with coal, the pollutants are clearly not even contained and disposed of properly, let alone recycled. They just get released into the atmosphere, affecting public health.]]> 2021-01-18 03:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1096569244 https://padlet.com/holana/6pksaql32ibi4pra/wish/1099081562 Burning coal to use as energy is polluting the air that we all breath, it also pollutes the water with the coals ashes which is very harmful, and also it also causing global warming which is causing the planet to over heat and many more damaging things.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.

It releases harmful chemicals into the air that cause damage to humans and the environment, with health effects going as extreme as premature death. It also leaves behind ash, which builds up in huge amounts and causes water pollution and can even contaminate drinking supplies. The carbon released by the burning of coal causes an excess in carbon dioxide, which produces a runaway greenhouse effect that causes climate change.

For example, while oil is most harmful when spilled, coal has more lasting and severe effects on the environment. It is a big issue when it comes to global warming, air pollution, and water pollution.
