What are some technologies that have been invented to help combat climate change?

Answer 1

it harms the environment in the following ways:

1. It consumes electricity which may have been produced by coal or other pollutants

2. when the technology becomes redundant, if and/or when you throw it out, it soon adds up to more waste in the dumps and more dumps may soon be needed

3. Things like phone masts, power stations, buildings etc. that are needed for the technology, and our survival, have to be built somewhere, and in the process some animals may get moved, killed and/or caged in order to build them on their environment.

4. The electrical signals which we might not hear maybe harmful to the animals that can hear it

5. We might build a nuclear station and if for example, there was a leak, it could spread illnesses and/or diseases and possibly kill you

I could go on but I think that's enough of an insight to answer your question and this is why I'll never give up opposing nuclear stations.

Some technologies are harmful to the environment while some are not but its manufacturing process is the one that is harmful to the environment.

Answer 2

It all depends on what type of technology your using to save the environment such as if you use cars you will probably end up killing it but if you use a car that runs on water then it will reduce the chances of killing the environment.

Answer 3

Scientists are looking at different ways to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They are also looking at ways to prevent cattle belching methane. Both of these are powerful greenhouse gases that are being produced by human (and animal) activity.

Trees absorb CO2 and turn it into oxygen. So we are trying to stop deforestation and trying to plant more trees.

But there is no technology yet that can do much.

Answer 4

We can build devices to capture CO2 out of the atmosphere. CO2 has commercial uses, so some of it could be sold, and the rest buried somehow.

About 50 million years ago there was a freshwater arctic fern known as Azolla. When the fern died, it would sink to the sea floor, locking away the CO2 it had captured during its growth. Over the course of a few hundred thousand years earth's CO2 levels plummeted, and along with it the temperature, which resulted in a long series of ice ages.

We could theoretically engineer some similar sort of organism, but we would need to be careful we didn't obtain the same result. Kudzu, for example, is not native to Florida.

Answer 5

As we improve circuit designs, they shrink in size, requiring less material to manufacture and less energy to operate. As we switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy technology, those Natural Resources can be depleted at a much slower rate. As we improve agricultural practices we may discover ways to reduce field runoff and erosion. There are numerous ways technology can help conserve natural resources.

Answer 6

• solar panels
• wind turbines
• geothermal power plants
• hydroelectric plants
• wave machines to produce electricity
• tidal and thermal plants
• electric cars
• LED light bulbs

Answer 7

Technologies using renewable energy:

• Solar towers
• solar panels
• solar hot water
• wind turbines
• electric cars
• wave and tide machines to harness electricity
• Geothermal powerstations

Technologies using fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) energy:

• Clean coal (nothing successful yet)

Answer 8

advancements in technology mean degradation of nature. technical developments invariably affect climate..
