The main reason of my fascination for climate change issues is that this challenge has brought to surface the impacts and consequences of what I consider the worst face of ignorance:greed; and it raised the importance of collaboration. Nowadays‚ while there is still uncertainty about the best way to address global warming‚ there is no doubt that all parties -governments‚ businessmen‚ scientists- now understand that they must work together to discover ways of managing what we are facing‚ and as a

The largest environmental issue that is effecting the global climate change specially in Canadian society would be global warming. Although global warming and its effects are taking place all around the world‚ a huge part of the ramifications that we are seeing are taking part in Canada. Global warming has lead to many environmental problems including the melting of the north pole and northern areas as well as forest fires and animal extinction. All of these sub-topics‚ although speaking specifically

This article is about all uses of solar energy. For the journal‚ see Solar Energy Journal. The 19.9 MW Gemasolar solar plant in Spain features 15 hours of storage and can supply power 24 hours a day. Solar energy‚ radiant light and heat from the sun‚ has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating‚ solar photovoltaics‚ solar thermal electricity‚ solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis‚ which

has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. This energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. * In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel famously used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. solar energy can be used to: * Heat water — for

Solar power From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia This article is about generation of electricity using solar energy. For other uses of solar energy‚ see Solar energy. The PS10 concentrates sunlight received from a field of heliostats onto a central tower. Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity‚ either directly using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus
