Abstract
The paper discusses how the U.S. Constitution's Article I, Section 8 gives the Obama administration and the EPA the right to regulate greenhouse gases.

From the Paper
"Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution gives numerous powers to Congress among which protecting the citizenry from various dangers is paramount. Additionally, a key provision of Article I Section 8 gives Congress the power to regulate Commerce with foreign nations and among the several states. The argument to be advanced herein is that based upon this particular set of responsibilities, Congress has the authority and the obligation to regulate activities that..."

Abstract
The first part of the paper explains the natural workings of the greenhouse effect. In the next part, the paper details how human activity has upset the balance of greenhouse gases, thereby, giving rise to the phenomenon of global warming. The third part of the paper then looks at the environmental dangers that have been associated with the global rise in temperature. In the final section, the paper examines how people have tried to address the problem of global warming, both through technology and through legislation.

From the Paper
"Perhaps the most common misunderstanding about the greenhouse effect is the general view that this phenomenon is artificial or human-made. However, the greenhouse effect has kept the Earth warm and habitable for over four billion years. Without the thermal blanket of the greenhouse effect, the Earth's temperature would plunge to an estimated 59 degrees Fahrenheit, making it uninhabitable for most of the living organisms on earth today (EPA).
As a natural phenomenon, the greenhouse effect is set in motion when energy from the sun heats up the layer of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Sunlight is composed of a range of radiant energy, including several forms of radiation. When sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere then reacts with the sun's radiation in three different ways."

Abstract
This ten-page undergraduate paper addresses the effects of various gases like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Helium, Argon, Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide on divers under pressure. Also discussed would be the concepts of partial pressure and the bends followed by medical problems associated to pressure changes. Laws pertaining to pressure will be discussed too.

Abstract
This paper serves as an analysis of the recent spike in global warming gasses that the world's scientists observed in 2010, and looks at its link to increased industrial production in nations like China, as well as what the implications are of this increase for the future of mankind and industry moving forward.

The Big Three Polluters
Naturally occurring vs. Man-made
Effects on Human Behavior in the Future

From the Paper
"According to Tom Boden, the director of the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Centre Environmental Sciences Division at the DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, the increase in global warming gases in 2010 is the most sizable spike on record since before the Industrial Revolution. The rise consisted of a 6% increase from 8.6 billion metric tons to 9.1 billion metric tons.

"The data was compiled via United Nations statistics that had been gathered from countries around the world. The data included results on fossil fuel energy stockpiles, imports, exports and production, in addition to data compiled by oil conglomerate British Petroleum.

"Most of this spike is alleged to be attributable to the big three polluters in the world: the United States, China and India. Industrial activities in these 3 nations resulting in the extensive burning of coal and gas have created the jump in CO2 emissions, many experts say, however, sizable increases were also logged in smaller nations such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia, Poland and Kazakhstan. Only a handful of nations, including New Zealand and Switzerland showed a decrease in emissions during 2009-2010."

Abstract
This paper describes how greenhouse gases contribute to global warming. It begins by describing how greenhouse gases occur in the atmosphere. It discusses the importance of greenhouse gases and then describes what causes the harmful greenhouse effect. Finally, the paper describes the negative impact of the greenhouse effect on the Earth's environment.

From the Paper
"Greenhouse gases are components of the atmosphere that contribute to the warming of the Earth. Some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, such as: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Human activities have increased the concentrations of these gases over time. The burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas as well as other activities like deforestation, has lead to higher concentrations of Carbon dioxide. Live stock, paddy rice farming and losses of pipelines have lead to higher concentration of methane in the atmosphere. Activities, such as the use of nitrogenous fertilizers for agricultural reasons, and the burning of vegetation, have increased the nitrous oxide concentrations. The only greenhouse gas that is not directly affected by human activity is water vapor (Greenhouse gas, 2007)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a goal-oriented instrument that provides standardized reporting and data collection methods for companies, and so can establish best practices on an organizational level. The paper addresses the merits and drawbacks of the emissions trading system, and then emphasizes the need to set concrete goals and proper operational boundaries. The paper discusses how the key to making the Greenhouse Gas Protocol work is convincing companies to participate, and considers the benefits of green marketing, as opposed to the dishonest practice of green washing. Finally, the paper addresses the role of senior management in achieving emission goals.

Outline:
Instrument Methodology
Pros and Cons of Carbon Trading
Setting Business Goals to Support GHG Reductions
Setting Operational Boundaries
Engaging Organizations to Achieve Buy-In
Senior Management's Role in Accomplishing Emissions Goals

From the Paper
"One of the most difficult obstacles in the implementation of the protocols is the development of a measurement method. Various sectors will need to utilize different methods for the calculation of greenhouse gases. Unless a reliable means for measuring greenhouse gases is devised, companies will have no way to determine if their practices are effective. The Greenhouse Gas protocol has several calculation tools available for a number of sectors so that standardized reporting can be achieved across various industries (WRI & WBCSD, 2004). Uniformity in reporting techniques is crucial to the success of the protocols. Everyone must be utilizing similar reporting techniques."

Abstract
This paper reviews greenhouse gases and how they affect global warming. It defines what greenhouse gases are, and how much they contribute to global warming. The paper describes man's contribution to greenhouse gases. The author also suggests ways to reduce energy consumption and the production of greenhouse gases.

Abstract
Global warming refers to the gradual increase of the earth's lower atmosphere, which many scientists believe is occurring due to changes in greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases prevent heat from leaving the earth, and are thus essential to the survival of life on earth. Light travels from the sun to the earth, and then bounces off the earth as infrared radiation. However, much of this heat is retained near the earth because greenhouse gases, which constitute a thermal blanket of gases, catch the radiation and reflect it back towards the earth.

From the Paper
"The air that surrounds us is a mixture of 78 percent nitrogen; 21 percent oxygen; less than 1 percent of carbon dioxide, argon, and other gases; and varying amounts of water vapor. Any other particles, gases or unoriginal constituents hanging in the air which are not part of its original composition are called "Pollutants" and this kind of air is called Polluted Air. Even inhaling small amounts of such air pollutants can have serious effects on ones health and leads to environmental problems. We can see some air pollutants such as the reddish-brown haze in smog; however, other air pollutants, including some of the most dangerous, are invisible.

Air pollution can be natural or human-made. Air pollution occurs naturally during volcano eruptions, forest fires, or dust storms. This has been an occasional problem for humans. However, during the past hundred years, air pollution created by humans has become a major, persistent problem."
