Green Living

I wonder how we can mitigate the effects of global warming before irreversible damage is done to our planet. I am curious about the role of technology and innovation in finding solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate change.

Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.

The earth's atmosphere is very old. It was formed when earth was formed.

1. Moving immediately to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
2. Close down all fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants, or use them to burn biomass and biofuel.
3. Replant forests and trees all over the world.

global warming is effecting our planet countries and earth because it is killing our animals and way of life, it is also setting major climate conditions like the north pole is beginning to melt because the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and its making the earth hotter when some places like Puerto Rico and Africa don't need to get any hotter

Tribal people often practice sustainable methods of hunting, fishing, and agriculture that respect the environment. They prioritize living in harmony with nature, using traditional knowledge and techniques to minimize their ecological footprint. Additionally, many tribal communities have deep cultural connections to the natural world, instilling values of conservation and respect for the environment in future generations.

Globalization is currently at a point where advancements in technology and transportation have made it easier for countries to connect and trade on a global scale. However, there is also increasing discussion and debate around issues such as income inequality, environmental impact, and national sovereignty as a result of globalization.

No, ultraviolet glass cannot be recycled with regular glass because the two types of glass have different compositions and melting points. Mixing them can create impurities in the recycling process and compromise the quality of the recycled glass. It is best to recycle ultraviolet glass separately to ensure its proper reuse.

yes it is renewable

Directly- rarely. Electrical output is based on light input- so variances in sunlight cause variances in power, However, by STORING the output (say, in a storage battery) the peaks and valleys can be smoothed out, and a (reasonably) steady supply of power created. PS- Don't forget the days that are cloudy, and night time.

'I don't think that 'thermoplastic effects environment because if you was going to buy for example a bottle of water can reuse the bottle again and again and it safes you from buying new bottles and you can also safe money .

The burning of fossil fuels, such as gasoline and coal, is the largest contributing factor to air pollution. These activities release pollutants like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which can lead to smog, acid rain, and other harmful effects on air quality and human health.

Matter must be recycled through ecosystems to ensure that nutrients are continuously available for plants and animals. This cycling process allows for the efficient use and reuse of resources in the ecosystem, maintaining the balance of energy flow and supporting the growth and survival of all living organisms.

Human-environment interaction in the Netherlands involves managing water through extensive systems of dikes, dams, and polders due to the country's low elevation and vulnerability to flooding. Additionally, the Dutch have reclaimed land from the sea for agriculture, urban development, and nature reserves, showcasing their adaptation to and shaping of their environment. These interactions demonstrate a harmonious balance between human needs and environmental sustainability.

Denatured ethanol is typically not available in organic form due to the denaturing process involving the addition of chemicals. You may want to consider purchasing organic grain alcohol or ethanol instead. You can try looking for organic options at specialty health food stores, organic food markets, or online retailers that specialize in organic products.

The main factors affecting the ozone layer are the release of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons into the atmosphere. These substances break down ozone molecules, causing thinning of the ozone layer. Other factors such as climate change and pollution can also impact the ozone layer indirectly.

They allow power to be obtained in many otherwise hard to reach places. My home is solar and wind powered due to the remote location and frequency we end up "off grid".

They have allowed cell phone communications, satellites and many military applications to be workable.

Some working models on climate change include the Earth System Models (ESMs), which simulate interactions between atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice; Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which combine climate models with economic models to project impacts and policy solutions; and Global Circulation Models (GCMs), which simulate climate patterns and predict future climate scenarios based on different emission scenarios. These models help scientists and policymakers understand the complex dynamics of climate change and inform decisions to mitigate its effects.

Slogans are best made up to involve a part of the company or action. They tend to rhyme and be short. Biotechnology, because you can't kill what's not alive, by all means. You can't spell environmental with out mental. Those are two examples of a slogan.

No. In fact, mankind has little, if any, responsibility for global warming. The alternate answer No, man is not only responsible for global warming (0.1% contribution) he is also responsible for a great many other things (industry, health, wealth, law, peace, happiness etc) including the development of the instruments by which global warming is measured. Not Even the alarmist IPCC admits that some part of the warming experienced over the last 150 years is due to the ongoing recovery from the Little Ice Age. Being alarmists, however, they obviously put the lion's share of the blame on humans. But the point is, no credible scientists puts 100% of the blame on humanity. They admit they don't fully understand what's going on.

Let's be real here.

There are a few things that both sides agree on:

1. The current warming cycle appears to have started 6000 years ago.

2. Man produces about 0.28% of all Green house gases and less then 6% of the CO2

3. No warming has been noted for a decade.

4. CO2 has always (and is currently) followed temperature and never led it. (Temp causes CO2 changes not CO2 causing temp)

5. The vast bulk of the Carbon on the planet is now contained in limestone and thus will never be part of our atmosphere again. No matter what, we can never have highs that were part of our past.

6. The planet has warmed 11 degrees in the past 6000 years and almost all of that (save for 0.6 degrees) is prior to burning our first piece of wood.

7. Total CO2 levels in our atmosphere have reached 0.03% (up 0.007%) over the life of man. Man may not be entirely alone in causing the rise in average global temperatures since the beginning of the Industrial Age, but the scientific consensus is that he is substantially responsible for that increase.

Let's get real here. The following are facts:

1. Around 5000 BCE (7,000 years ago), global average temperatures reached a level little different to those experienced at the beginning of the twentieth century. Sea levels, having risen around 120-130 metres since the last Ice Age, were now consistent with modern levels. When it suits skeptics, they claim that the Medieval Warm Period was even warmer than it is today, but when it suits otherwise, they claim that there has been a warming trend for thousands of years. Scientists, on the other hand, say that present average temperatures are the highest they have been for at least two thousand years, and very possibly a million years.

2. Man produces nearly 30 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from the use of fossil fuels, in addition to the emissions from cement manufacture and deforestation. This is not to be sneezed at.

3. The past decade was the warmest since instrumental measurement began in 1850, and the ten warmest years since 1850 have now all occurred since 1998.

4. A simplistic view is that carbon dioxide levels never drive temperature rises. This view proves that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" (Ovid, if I remember).

5. Man is responsible for the release of carbon dioxide from limestone, as a byproduct of cement manufacture. We can not rely on this remaining sequestered forever if we choose to make cement.

6. The lowest temperatures reached on a global average basis during the last Ice Age was about 4.6 degrees Celsius below twentieth century temperatures, and temperatures have risen by 0.75 degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution. It is an old habit of climate skeptics to mix Fahrenheit (since the Ice Ages) and Celsius (since the Industrial Revolution) to minimize the apparent human contribution.

7. Although carbon dioxide concentrations are still only 390 parts per million of the atmosphere (up from the long-term average of 260-280 parts per million), this is not cause for complacency. Carbon dioxide is an effective greenhouse gas at these concentrations.

Ferns provide important ecosystem services such as soil stabilization, erosion control, and habitat for wildlife. They are also used in horticulture and landscaping for their ornamental value. Some fern species have medicinal properties and are used in traditional medicine.
