To conclude, drones are a better way to get around in the air without warming the globe
(That’s the sun's job).
Conclusion
Discussion
Global warming is caused by overproduction of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon dioxide traps heat (from body heat, all the way to car engines) and radiates it into all directions (even back to the earth's surface).
Causes of Global Warming
The topic of this presentation is global warming, it will cover topics like CO2 emissions from cars and planes, the effect global warming has on the earth, and a lot more.
Background Information
Today, airplanes release 920 million tonnes of CO2 per year which is 2.5 percent of the globe’s CO2 because the size of its combustion engine. is bigger than most vehicles.
CO2 Emissions from Aviation
Drones release little to no heat. They are powered by a small motor powered by a battery, minimizing the amount of heat transferred into the air.
Drones emit 94% less CO2 into the air than other vehicles such as cars, boats, and planes. Making them a lot cleaner when it comes to air quality

Today, airplanes release 920 million tonnes of CO2 per year which is 2.5 percent of the globe’s CO2 because the size of its combustion engine. This is more than most vehicles. On the other hand, drones emit 94% less CO2 into the air than other vehicles such as cars, boats, and planes. Drones also release little to no heat. They are powered by a small motor powered by a battery, minimizing the amount of heat transferred into the air. This makes them a lot cleaner when it comes to air quality. A similar situation can be seen in the emissions of cars. Gas cars such as the Lamborghini emit CO2 because of its combustion engine. Unlike the Lamborghini, the Tesla does not run on a combustion engine, it runs on a battery, which helps to transition to "sustainable energy by avoiding 5.0 million metric tons of CO2 emissions." Heat pollution is very harmful to the earth and everything in it. It impacts the climate and melts the ice of the arctic, making it harder for arctic animals to live. Drones can be used for commercial use and delivery. To conclude, drones are a better way to get around in the air without warming the globe.
