  1. Lots of good information here http://environmentalist101.com good luck with your research project.


  2. basically short sighted greed that in the long run will cost many others many times more than is saved or made now by the few.  For example, to save a couple bucks for the oil companies, car companies, household appliance companies, lightbulb companies, etc etc, they will produce inefficient products that end up costing more in energy use over a given time period than is saved up front, and this in turn keeps pollution and the status quo the way it is, business as usual, instead of creating new and better products and industries to solve or at least lessen these problems.  The wind and solar power companies are whole new industries employing many more people than short term projects like drilling some new wells in the wildlife preserves would, for example.

  3. Cause:People use gasoline power cars to drive

    Effect: they pollute our atmosphere and use up our natural resources and money.

  4. You take money from me and don't pay it back.

  5. causes.

    coal power is the cheapest. so market forces will tend to favor it over clean power.

    effects

    global warming will cost between 10 - 20 % of global GDP if we do not act while it will cost 1% of global GDP to solve the problem.
