This report will provide a detailed examination of a significant indicator related to the global environment, namely carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning. A minimum of a ten-year data series will be presented for this indicator and an explanation will be offered for the processes that are affecting this particular indicator. Also, a description will be offered of the geographical variability or pattern of the indicator and an analysis will be conducted concerning any changes in the indicator. Finally, this report will describe whether, international action has, or will be expected to, cause change in carbon emissions. 9 pgs. 23 f/c. 12b.

102.2703 The Automobile and the Environment: -Myth- Technology has reached its limit in reducing the negative environmental impact of the automobile.
This paper will argue that there is still plenty of scope for technology to reduce the negative environmental impact of the automobile. While it is true that modern automotive technology is obviously advanced, the potential of the hydrogen and/or solar battery powered vehicle to reduce emissions has not even been touched upon. Moreover, the use of recycled or other environmentally friendly materials in the production of automobiles has plenty of room for further expansion. Perhaps most importantly, though, if we look at the concept of technology in a broad sense we can see that it is creating a world where having a car is less necessary. 15.5 pgs. 19 f/c. 6b.
This paper looks at how the government's preference for private transportation over public transportation bodes ill for the environment. The author believes that there is conclusive proof that a bias towards private transportation promotes urban sprawl. This, of course, promotes extensive deterioration of the environment and greatly increases the size of man's ecological footprint. The silver lining of this ugly cloud, though, is that efficient public transport systems can still be developed to curb this growing problem. Sprawl, ironically, may provide the necessary impetus to reduce the appeal of private transportation and eventually make public transport systems more efficient and competitive. This is but only one reason that a government's preference for private transportation over public transportation bodes ill for the environment. This paper will provide clear arguments to further support this assertion. 13 pgs. 19 f/c. 8b.

104.2762 An Economic View And Approach To Pollution.
This paper is an analysis on the economic perspective of 'de-pollution'. First, some of the dilemmas of addressing environmental concerns will be examined from an economic perspective, and to a lesser extent, a political or ideological perspective. Following the discussion of the 'problems' or 'dilemmas' of pollution concerns, from an economic perspective, this analysis will address some of the solutions proposed, and second, examine these proposed solutions in light of some of the criticisms which have been raised and anticipated by the theories in question. Concerning this latter section, it will be argued that in general, the economic perspective can be understood as trying to establish policies which will maintain the core principles of a market economy, namely, profit motive. 4.5 pgs. 3 f/c. 1b.

105.3779 Eutrophication - Causes, Effects And Possible Solutions.
This study is about the process of eutrophication. This is the gradual increase in the concentration of phosphorous, nitrogen and other plant nutrients in an aging aquatic system, such as a lake, river or shallow sea. When the body of water becomes excessively enriched with nutrients, such as nitrate fertilizers and phosphates, algae and bacteria develops. In turn, this uses extra oxygen in the water, which tends to make it uninhabitable by other animal life. This essay will begin by discussing what eutrophication is and what causes it. It will list some examples and suggest ways that eutrophication can be reversed or halted. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
