 Greenhouse gases
Global warming (melting ice, high sea levels
and change in climate)

Greenhouse gases (Carbon dioxide)

Burning of fossil fuels (coal ,oil and natural gas)

 Coal
Coal releases more CO2 then oil and gases.

The largest coal production countries

Have the largest carbon footprint

Example: China, United States, Canada

 Nuclear Energy
 Atoms are split and energy is produced,
the energy is transformed into electricity
Advantages Disadvantages

 It produces energy more  Nuclear weapons

that fossil fuel burning. more available

 Does not release  Radiation Hazards

greenhouse gases.
 My Opinion
Balancing the advantages and disadvantages

Nuclear Energy is a great worldwide solution to

global warming as it releases no or very little
greenhouse gases and produces more energy.
