The higher need for electricity would result in higher rates of burning coal especially in China and America which are countries with one of the highest rates of burning coal.
-
Helps provide comprehensive data, the basis for any meaningful solutions to conserve the environment.
With the help of Big Data and machine learning, companies are able to track carbon emissions, predict and estimate the increase in global temperatures more accurately
When the problem is tackled early, it would be easier to mitigate the long term effects on the environment
gasoline refined from Canadian Oil Sands oil generates almost twice the level of greenhouse gas emissions as does North Sea oil. This information was crucial in lowering investor and consumer demand for Canadian Oil Sands
