Environmentalists are especially concerned about the amount of carbon dioxide released from burning coal because it is a significant greenhouse gas.

A greenhouse gas (GHG or GhG) is a gas that produces the greenhouse effect by absorbing and emitting heat infrared radiation. Water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone are the planet's main greenhouse gases (O3).

Without greenhouse gases, the average surface temperature of the Earth would be closer to 18 °C (0 °F) than it is today, which is 15 °C (59 °F). Additionally, greenhouse gases are found in the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, and Titan.

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution (about 1750), human activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide content by over 50%, from 280 ppm in 1750 to 419 ppm in 2021.

What are the reasons for why ancient indo-Europeans came to the European continent
Makovka662 [10]

The reasons as to why the Indo-Europeans migrated to Europe were the better climate conditions, more grazing land and fertile soil, and overpopulation.

Explanation:

The Indo-Europeans were a group of people that formed and lived in the Eurasian Steppes, mostly in the lowlands of what is now Central Asia. Central Asia though was not offering the best living conditions, as the climate was harsh, fertile soil, was lacking, the grazing lands were limited, and the population of the Indo-Europeans was constantly growing. This made numerous groups of these people to migrate in several waves toward other regions, including Europe.

Being a war-like people and superior in combat, the Indo-Europeans found it easy to move into the European territories and settle in. The migration waves were mostly going through the lowlands north of the Black Sea, and through Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula. Very quickly the Indo-Europeans managed to become dominant in Europe, establish their culture, language, and beliefs.

The main reason for migration were:

  • overpopulation
  • better grazing lands
  • fertile soil
  • better climate

Ethnic families that are believed to have originated from the Indo-Europeans are:

  • Celtic people
  • Germanic people
  • Slavic people
  • Baltic people
  • Italic people
  • Daco-Thracian people
  • Illirian people etc.

Tension often arises between citizens' need for information and the government's need for secrecy on issues involving
cluponka [151]

The answer is National security because the citizens need to know that they are being protected, and usually also how they are being protected. But the government often needs so measure of secrecy in order to protect National Security. If the government were to tell citizens exactly how they were being protected and someone posted it onto the internet it would severely compromise that protection. However people do not generally seem to understand that and tensions become heated between the two groups. Both sides reasons are perfectly legitimate, but one outweighs the other by knowledge. The answer is B.
