Modern Challenges: Energy by Jordan Hodge https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp Global warming everywhere! en-us 2017-05-22 13:11:44 UTC 2023-05-08 15:26:59 UTC hello@padlet.com Notable People jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173504351 Solar Panels:
In 1839 Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the photo voltaic effect which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight. This is still used today on a grander stage causing less global warming.
Wind Turbines:
The first electricity-generating wind turbine was invented in 1888 in Cleveland, Ohio by Charles F. Brush.  The turbine’s diameter was 17 meters, it had 144 rotor blades made of cedar wood, and it generated about 12 kilowatts of power. Another amazing discovery that helps limit the global warming.]]> 2017-05-23 22:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173504351 Establishing the Problem jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173505038 Savant Arrhenius was the first person to publish the global warming from human emissions of CO2. This was dated back to 1896 (Right after the industrial revolution) which means that this problem has lasted for more then a century. ]]> 2017-05-23 22:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173505038 Why is it a Problem? jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173505620 Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people.
  • Sea levels are rising, human population continues to grow most rapidly in flood-vulnerable, low-lying coastal zones.
  • Places where famine and food insecurity are greatest in today’s world are not places where milder winters will boost crop or vegetation productivity, but instead, are places where rainfall will probably become less reliable, and crop productivity is expected to fall.
  • The countries most vulnerable to global warming’s most serious side effects are among the poorest and least able to pay for the medical and social services and technological solutions that will be needed to adapt to climate change.

At the moderate level, there is recognition of the significance of global warming and the importance of action. The party is divided on how significant human activity has impacted the onslaught of climate change. At its most extreme, certain party members do not recognize that humans have played any role in global warming, stating that the earth warming is the natural progression of the planet.
Democrats:
Democratic beliefs on global warming include a belief that the U.S. should be actively trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels and develop clean energy initiatives. The Democratic Party is “committed to curbing the effects of climate change, protecting America’s natural resources, and ensuring the quality of our air, water, and land for future generations. ]]> 2017-05-23 23:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173506208 Solve the Issue: Republican Vs Democrat jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173506602 Democrat:
Investing in clean-energy to protecting our ecosystems, the Democrats are working to address our biggest environmental challenges, paving the way to a more sustainable America.
Republican:
In the face of overwhelming scientific consensus, today’s Republican leaders either deny climate science outright or insist that any solution.]]> 2017-05-23 23:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173506602 Opinion Editorial jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173507678 If I was dealing with this problem i would make every new building that was being built have some sort of "clean" energy source. Either have solar panels on the roof or maybe even a wind turbine. It could help slow down the climate change. I would also try to make everyone limit the use of gasoline in cars. Try and make cars either electric powered or solar powered. It would take a example of how the climate change effects the world especially in the Arctic. ]]> 2017-05-23 23:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173507678 Global Warming Graph jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173536408 Gradually getting each year which means we need to make a change.]]> 2017-05-24 03:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173536408 Effects of Bad Energy Fumes jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173536869 2017-05-24 03:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173536869 Solar Panel jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173537509 How a solar panel works and can get electricity.]]> 2017-05-24 03:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173537509 Work Cited jordanh554 https://padlet.com/jordanh554/grty1b3uq5kp/wish/173537794 "Global Warming Timeline."
