Question
For this Climate Change Discussion Post answer the following questions: Provide at least three specific & deatiled forms of scientific evidence in support of climate change. Is climate change an important topic to you? Why or why not? Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. - NASA. Specifically, why do you think this topic is so controversial in the general public? What is Carbon Sequestration? Do you think this idea is a viable solution to climate change?
Explanation / Answer
Climate-related changes have already been observed globally and in the United States. These include increases in air and water temperatures, reduced frost days, increased frequency and intensity of heavy downpours, a rise in sea level, and reduced snow cover, glaciers, permafrost, and sea ice. A longer ice-free period on lakes and rivers, lengthening of the growing season, and increased water vapor in the atmosphere have also been observed. Over the past 30 years, temperatures have risen faster in winter than in any other season, with average winter temperatures in the Midwest and northern Great Plains increasing more than 7°F. Some of the changes have been faster than previous assessments had suggested.The scientific consensus is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming.
yes,in the world everybody show importance on climate change because we should survive & fully depends on cilmate.the temp increases so does the acidity of the oceans. There are changes in where rain falls and doesn't fall which effects farming. No the last great extinction 55 million yrs ago was due to a rise in CO2 and an 18F rise in global temp. So far for us that 2F looking at a 6 to 7F rise by 2100AD. As the temp rises so does CO2 and the ability of plant life to exist - farming and animals got to eat. And an acidic ocean kills fish and plants in the water
Carbon sequestration is the process involved in carbon capture and the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change. It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide is naturally captured from the atmosphere through biological, chemical, or physical processes.Artificial processes have been devised to produce similar effects, including large-scale, artificial capture and sequestration of industrially produced CO2 using subsurface salineaquifers, reservoirs, ocean water, aging oil fields, or other carbon sinks. Carbon storage might not be so feasible though. I've always been of the mind that we should find a way to make our emissions more friendly for release so in that sense if we are able to somehow affect our by-products and industrial waste without putting them into storage to do so, it might do a lot better for the environment. Some of the carbon needs to go back into the cycle, it's just our job to make sure that it reenters in a non-toxic form.The process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and depositing it in a reservoir.so this idea is a viable solution to climate change
