Choose either Carbon Dioxide Removal or Solar Radiation Management:
1. Which did you choose?
Carbon Dioxide Removal
2. Describe how it works. (1 pt)
CDR is involves the reduction of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. First step is capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, then compressing it and draining it into storage reservoirs.
3. What are two benefits of this technique? (2 pts)
One benefit is that it brings down the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Another benefit is with less CO2 in the atmosphere, it will reduce ocean acidification
4. What are two potential drawbacks or problems with this technique? (2 pts)
One drawback is that it is very expensive and takes up a lot of place. Another drawback is that it can hurt plants and animals because …show more content…
Methane is more potent.
2. How do you think warming ocean temperatures will affect coral reef? Help? Harm? Why? (Assume just warming effects, not acidification effects.) Give a full, well-reasoned explanation – at least 10 sentences. (4 pts) Warming Effects have been on the rise since the Industrial Revolution when humans began to start using more fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels emissions add a lot more CO2 than what I produced naturally. Today, there is so much CO2 emissions that the Earth is warming from it being trapped in the atmosphere. With the Earth rising in temperature, the ocean’s temperature begins to rise. As the ocean temperature rises, coral reef began to bleach because higher temperatures cause them to release the algae that lives inside it. Since the algae is expelled most of the coral dies and disappears from existence. Countries should reduce emissions into the ocean, so it would not cause coral reefs to bleach and eventually die. Coral is essential to marine life because many creatures live inside of it. If it were to be destroyed, the entire ecosystem would
