TL;DR: In this paper, the main purpose of the study is to collect information about a real problem that has negative impact on something in order to be able to reach solution or decrease its impact.
Abstract: Global warming is affecting each and every part of the world. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting which are causing the rise in the sea level. When the level of the sea rises, it causes danger to the people living in the low lying areas. So, this causes a big problem for people, plants and animals living on the earth or the ecosystem all in all. Pollution whether vehicular, electrical or industrial is the main contributor to the global warming. Everyday billions of vehicles release various gases into the atmosphere. This causes earth to warm up and increase its average temperature. The main purpose of the study is to collect information about a real problem that has negative impact on something in order to be able to reach solution or decrease its impact. This study shows that global warming is the result of many factors including greenhouse gasses which can be reduced if people behave in a responsible way. We can state that pollution is the link between the greenhouse gases released to the air and get trapped in the atmosphere which cause the raise in temperature known as global warming and leading to a huge bulk of negative consequences to all living and non-living creatures on Earth’s surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the level of awareness on climate literacy among preservice teachers in Malaysia using the stratified sampling method and a questionnaire instrument was used to get feedback, containing four study variables, namely the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Abstract: Climate change and global warming are the primary issues often debated when environmental issues are discussed nowadays. Among the efforts made to raise awareness concerning mitigation and adaptation to climate change is climate literacy acquired from the educational medium. Therefore, this article seeks to identify the level of awareness on climate literacy among preservice teachers in Malaysia. This study involved 500 final-year students from nine faculties at Sultan Idris Education University using the stratified sampling method. A questionnaire instrument was used to get feedback, containing four study variables, namely the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices of climate change mitigation and adaptation. The findings showed that the knowledge of and attitudes towards climate change mitigation and adaptation variables were at high levels, while the skills and practices of climate change mitigation and adaptation variables were at moderate levels. Thus, this indicates that students’ knowledge of and attitudes towards climate change mitigation and adaptation were good and satisfactory, but not the skills and practices of climate change mitigation and adaptation, which were still moderate and could be improved over time. The findings and issues that have been studied can be used as a reference and guide for universities, educators and ministries in improving students’ climate literacy, aiming for a more sustainable life.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized current state-of-the-art knowledge of the data-assisted enzyme redesigning to actively promote new research on important enzymes to ameliorate the environment.
Abstract: Today's environmental balance has been compromised by the unreasonable and sometimes dangerous actions committed by humans to maintain their dominance over the Earth's natural resources. As a result, oceans are contaminated by the different types of plastic trash, crude oil coming from mismanagement of transporting ships spilling it in the water, and air pollution due to increasing production of greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4 etc., into the atmosphere. The lands, agricultural fields, and groundwater are also contaminated by the infamous chemicals viz., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pyrethroids pesticides, bisphenol-A, and dioxanes. Therefore, bioremediation might function as a convenient alternative to restore a clean environment. However, at present, the majority of bioremediation reports are limited to the natural capabilities of microbial enzymes. Synthetic biology with uncompromised supervision of ethical standards could help to outsmart nature's engineering, such as the CETCH cycle for improved CO2 fixation. Additionally, a blend of synthetic biology with machine learning algorithms could expand the possibilities of bioengineering. This review summarized current state-of-the-art knowledge of the data-assisted enzyme redesigning to actively promote new research on important enzymes to ameliorate the environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model is proposed to discuss the role of deteriorating water quality due to greenhouse gases on the dynamics of the aquatic population in the model, which is taken as a function of two water quality indicators: temperature and dissolved oxygen.
Abstract: A nonlinear mathematical model is proposed to discuss the role of deteriorating water quality due to greenhouse gases on the dynamics of the aquatic population in this paper. In the model, the growth rate of the aquatic population is taken as a function of two water quality indicators: temperature and dissolved oxygen. It is considered in the model that greenhouse gases increase the water temperature due to which the level of dissolved oxygen decreases and also consumption rate of dissolved oxygen by the species increases, causing a reduction in the aquatic population density. Stability analysis of the mathematical model is carried out and also numerical simulation is performed with hypothetical data. From the analysis of the model, it is shown that if the emission rate of greenhouse gases increases then the equilibrium density of the aquatic population decreases. Further, it is noted that as the dissolved oxygen requirement necessary for the survival of the aquatic population increases because of elevated water temperature then the equilibrium density of the aquatic population decreases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monoethanolamine (MEA) has been used as an absorbent for capturing CO2 from exhaust gas, and when CO2 is absorbed into MEA solution, carbamate ion was generated as a following reaction.
Abstract: Large amount exthoust of CO2 gas is concern about global warming. Therefore, we have to abate emission of CO2 gas from some places. Currently, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies are expected as a global warming measure. Monoethanolamine (MEA) has been used as an absorbent for capturing CO2 from exhaust gas. Because MEA has several advantages over other alkanolamines: high CO2 absorption amount per unit weight, high CO2 absorption rate, and the low solvent cost. However, high temperature of 120 C is necessary to desorb CO2 gas from MEA solution. When CO2 is absorbed into MEA solution, carbamate ion (RNHCOO) is generated as a following reaction,

Abstract: This work is a full survey of the present state of knowledge on global warming, and what can be done about it. The information and interpretation is not just one man's view, but represents the common mind of the scientific community. Many of the charts and diagrams are generated by the Met Office computer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the current GISS analysis of surface temperature change based primarily on meteorological station measurements and describe the spatial and temporal patterns of the temperature change suggest that more than one mechanism is involved in this regional cooling.
Abstract: We describe the current GISS analysis of surface temperature change based primarily on meteorological station measurements. The global surface temperature in 1998 was the warmest in the period of instrumental data. The rate of temperature change is higher in the past 25 years than at any previous time in the period of instrumental data. The warmth of 1998 is too large and pervasive to be fully accounted for by the recent El Nino, suggesting that global temperature may have moved to a higher level, analogous to the increase that occurred in the late 1970s. The warming in the United States over the past 50 years is smaller than in most of the world, and over that period there is a slight cooling trend in the Eastern United States and the neighboring Atlantic ocean. The spatial and temporal patterns of the temperature change suggest that more than one mechanism is involved in this regional cooling.

TL;DR: This paper used household survey data for developing and transitional economies to estimate the effect of fertility (crude birth rate net of infant deaths) on private consumption poverty and found that higher fertility increases poverty both by retarding economic growth and by skewing distribution against the poor.
Abstract: Household survey data for developing and transitional economies are used to estimate the effect of fertility (crude birth rate net of infant deaths) on private consumption poverty. Cross‐national regressions indicate that higher fertility increases poverty both by retarding economic growth and by skewing distribution against the poor. Our median country in 1980 had ‘dollar‐a‐day’ poverty incidence of 18.9 per cent; had it reduced its fertility by four per 1,000 throughout the 1980s (the sample median fall), it is estimated that incidence would have been reduced to 13.9 per cent, the growth and distribution effects being roughly equally responsible for this reduction.
