higher prices means people will drive less, and when people drive less carbon dioxide emissions are reduced.

Cement work might reduce carbon dioxide why?

The cement work cannot reduce carbon dioxide. In fact, the cement work increases carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is emitted during the production of cement.


Why might it be helpful for people to know how much carbon dioxide their daily travels released?

If people had an easy way of knowing exactly how much their daily travels contributed to carbon dioxide emissions they might take some steps to reduce it. Someone who drives their car to the corner shop might reflect that walking that short distance would mean fewer emissions. It could also lead to a healthier lifestyle for themselves.


Would you expect that the concentration of carbon dioxide over an industrial site will be higher or lower?

The concentration of carbon dioxide over an industrial site might be higher, because of the emissions, however, carbon dioxide mixes well with other gases, so it will spread out all over the world.


How does a power station reduce pollution?

A coal-fired power station can use filters to remove particulate emissions form its smokestack. In theory, it could also capture its carbon dioxide emissions for underground sequestration, but this is an unproven technology and might be neither long-term nor safe storage. The best way for a power station to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions would be to convert to natural gas or to be replaced by a non-combustion source.


What might decrease global atmospheric carbon dioxide?

There is no known way that humans can economically remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; all we can really do is reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide and slow down the rate at which atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing. The surface waters of the ocean do absorb some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as atmospheric carbon dioxide level increase, but there is little interchange betwen the warm upper ocean and the deep layers. However over a period of several thousand years, there is sufficient interchange to absorb large volumes of carbon dioxide, allowing the atmospheric concentration to return more or less to normal. Afforestation. Planting trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


How might solar powered buildings and cars reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere?

Solar powered buildings and cars reduce carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere because instead of having the process of burning like fossil fuels they take in the light energy from the sun, store and use it.

What is the reason of greenhouse effect that might happen to earth in the future?

The greenhouse effect is caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat from the sun. If emissions continue to rise, this could lead to further warming of the planet, resulting in more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruption of ecosystems. It is important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the impacts of climate change.


What are two things a scientist might ask about the movement of carbon dioxide through a whale and its surroundings?

A scientist might ask through what process the whale obtains the carbon dioxide. Additionally a scientist might ask what effect the carbon dioxide would have on the surrounding environment.


How does a forest plantation project in the Philippines earn green or carbon credits under the Kyoto protocol?

Emissions trading allows industries in developed countries to effectively reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide by investing in forest plantations and clean energy projects in developing countries. (See Carbon Credits and Forest Plantations). In theory new growing forests adsorb and store carbon to offset the carbon emitted from industry. In practise these credits might not be truly additional, for example forestry in one place might be an excuse to de-forest elsewhere. The long-term management of the forest, particularly the susceptibility to fire and drought also needs to be considered.
