Throughout, this essay will discuss, with uses of examples, how Balog (2009) disputed his arguments in order to cogent TED audience and outward viewers on the issue of ‘climate changes’? The question to challenge James Balog (2009) illustration proposal is possible, in a way that, bringing the invisible to the visual is undoubtedly fascinating. However, he claimed that the cause of an on-going global warming is due to CO2 (Balog, 7.20); which it is utterly unconvincing. Drawing his project on merely two years of work, it would have had been more reasonable to extend the ‘Extreme Ice Survey’ on long-cycle duration to obtain accurate data. Furthermore, online participation denoted that the paleoclimate graphs show correlation of CO2 and temperature are not clear doer.
(History.com) Later on in the 1900 hundreds, there were several more reports of ships being hit by what was said to be a freak wave or rogue wave. One of the most famous ships to get hit by a rogue wave was the Queen Mary. In 1942 while carrying 15,000 American troops 608 nautical miles (700 mi/1,126 km) from Scotland during a gale, RMS Queen Mary was broadsided by a 92-foot (28 m) wave and nearly capsized. Queen Mary listed briefly about 52 degrees before the ship slowly righted herself. (live science.com) One of the most memorable rogue wave occurrences was on October 30, 1991.
It has been estimated that the transportation of a million gallons of water (fresh or waste water) requires 200 truck trips. Thus, not only does water used for hydraulic fracturing deplete fresh water supplies and impact aquatic habitat, the transportation of so much water also creates localized air quality, safety and road repair issues.

Darien Sorensen Professor Potratz English 100 9 October 2009 Rhetorical Analysis on “Better Energy” Gwyneth Cravens addresses the issue of the use of nuclear energy in her article “Better Energy”. She starts off by introducing James Lovelock, who is a prominent figure in the green movement, but four years before she wrote her article, he upset his fans by endorsing the use of nuclear energy. She goes on to explain how the use of nuclear energy will be able to decrease the threat of global warming. She claims that nuclear energy is the only way to get the amount of energy that is needed, without critically hurting the environment. Through out her article Cravens highlights the environmental benefits of nuclear energy.
This gave Senator Reid a big enough boost to get him re-elected. While Senator Patty Murray of Washington faced challenges in her re-election bid. In an article for The Washington Times Daily, Kevin Freking wrote “Support for Yucca Mountain in the two states shows that positions on now how to deal with nuclear waste are often shaped by regional differences rather than partisan ones.” In March 2010 when the DOE withdrew its application for Yucca Mountain, Senator Murray gave the Energy Secretary an earful. She told Energy Secretary Steven Chu “I just think it’s irresponsible.”
Presidential Debate 2012 Tuesday’s debate was punchy between President Obama and Mitt Romney. The debate opened with testy exchanges on energy in which the president accused Romney of ignoring renewable power. But Romney, too, attacked Obama for allowing over rising gasoline prices and faking support for fossil fuels. What was out of the ordinary was that, in the last Presidential Debate, Romney had been the aggressor while Obama was calm and not as irritated. In my personal opinion, I think Obama showed that he can lead the U.S. even in crucial times and that he will fight for us and still manage to keep a positive attitude.
Over the years, the silt has been collecting in Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, and it is predicted that over the next few hundred years this lake will fill up with silt. This could threaten the entire Colorado River reservoir system. Just in the past 10 years, Lake Mead’s water levels have dropped by more than 100 feet and the basin is only half full. Something needs to be done to stop the trends and even
I couldn’t find the official amount of money that was needed for the damage in Japan, but what was for sure was it was over a $1 million. What made everything worse just to end things off was the that two days later the volcano named “ Cordon- Caulle” in Los Lagos that erupted after 40 years of inactivity, so 1960 was just not the year for most countries but especially Chile.

Ashly Gourdie English 101/504 Dr. Martinez October 15th, 2012 The Waterless State Do you ever wondered what it be like if one day you go get a drink of water but no water was coming out of the fosset? Well, in New Mexico there is a high risk of drought but people keep thinking that there is a limitless amount of water. Despite how much rain fall New Mexico gets each year, millions of gallons of water are being used each day by corporations’ and the people. But when the time comes for people to start realizing the effects it has on the water system it might be too late. Well the U.S. Geological Survey released a report showing that Albuquerque was pumping out its ground water nearly three times faster than it could be replenished (174).
The refinery has devoted many millions of dollars in strategies to control pollution since its creations, yet before the safety regulations of the country were passed. Chevron Richmond refinery was already controlling its pollutant discharges on a conventional treatment system build in the 1960s and 1970s. The first stage of this system uses primary treatment to remove pollutants from water, largely by scanning the oil and hydrocarbons.
