fossil fuels
fossiler Brennstoff
gas,oil,coal
Gas, Öl, Kohle
finite resources
begrenzte Ressourcen
Finite Resources (e.g. gas,oil)
-will be depleted (verbaucht) over the time
-produce too much C02 emissions
-detrimental (schädlich) effect on the environment
fracking
Fracking- Methode zur Satbilisierung von Rissen im Gestein
Fracking
-extracing (Gewinnung) gas from rocks deep below the earths surface- by exploding rocks using chemicals, water under high pressure
-a method of mining (Bergbau) in which cracks are created in a type of rock called shale (Schiefer) in order to obtain gas, oil or other substances that are inside it
Carboon Foot print
the amount of charbon dioxide a person, organization, building etc produces, used as a measure of their effect on the environment
Infinite resources
unbegrenzte Ressourcen
renewable energy ressources
erneuerbare Energieressourcen
degradable/bio degradable

sustainable
haltbar, nachhaltig

harness energy
Energiegewinnung
Hanress energy
use the energy from the sun/wind/earths core (Erdkern) /tides (Gezeiten) /water
excessive utilisation of fossils fuels by industry factoriew in production, especially the clothes industry, transportation, tourism, farming, public utilities: heating, lighting, transportation
too much traffic congestion (Überfüllung) —> Co2 emissions
Agri culture
green houses
animal farming
—> these are the main culprits (Schuldigen)
farm animals —> release too much methane, 25 times more potent than CO2
Impact of using fossil fuels:
depletes (verringern) resources, pollutes, damages, contaminates (verschmutzen) environment
melta permafrost
forests recede (Rückgang)
Further damage caused by global warming
frequent and intensive natural disaster such as drought (Dürre), hurricanes, floods, subside (nachlassen) —> locust (Heuschrecke), mice (Mäuse), spider plague- no natual enemie
Animals and plants species become extinct (ausgestorben)
Farmers use pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers (Düngemittel) for better crop sields (Getreidefelder)
Instead of manure (düngen)= results fewer insects, dying of bees
Nature pollinator: fishing- overfishing using huge nets and trawlers, whale hunting, Plastics- throw away plastics, pollution of the ocean, re-usable
furnished
