How does technology impact on global warming?

Answer 1

Technology has given us thousands of electric and electronic gadgets that make our lives easier and happier. Unfortunately, they all use electricity. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon that has been stored away for millions of years. This carbon adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.

Answer 2

Technology involves factories and manufactured products. Pollution increases as technology rises. Global Warming is caused by different harmful chemicals. Factories produce smoke and synthesized chemical fused in different processes. Therefore, technology CAUSES global warming in a such a way of waste production.

Answer 3

• cleaner ways of powering cars reducing carbon dioxide emissions
• light bulbs that produce the same light with less electricity
• better solar panels that produce more clean power
• better designs for tidal, wave, and hydro energy that produce more clean power.
• trials on a small scale to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and also from the factory chimneys.

Answer 4

It wont-not really. Technology is the main reason that global warming started in the first place! But people are coming up with environmental calculators so you can check your carbon footprint and how you can decrease it.

Answer 5

Technology can both contribute to and help mitigate global warming. For example, the production and use of fossil fuels for technology contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, which drive global warming. However, technology advancements in renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and carbon capture and storage are essential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating global warming.

Answer 6

No. It's how you use it that counts. For example

low technology China will soon exceed us in green house gases.

Answer 7

Technology relies largely on electricity. Until technology can produce quick, clean, cheap renewable energy, then it will continue to have a bad effect on global warming.

Answer 8

How has advanced in science led to development of technology used to address global warming?
