Carbon filtering

deforestation. As citizens living on this planet Earth, we have the responsibility to take actions that will keep it healthy and living if possible, which includes maintaining as much forestry alive as possible by keeping a steady amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In other words, to get an unsustainable item to be sustainable, it would be most helpful to follow the following sufficient tasks to benefit the unsustainable factor that is having maintenance, while not harming…

has heard the term global warming, but how is this major issue being defined? To many people, global warming is defined as the steady rise of the Earth’s temperature from an excess of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. To numberless others, global warming is simply that the climate change and carbon emission has nothing to do with it. While this last definition seems to be the easiest due to being less scary and not having to deal with the problem, it does not mean it is correct.…

Crop simulation model is an effective tools in understanding climate change effects on agricultural production systems (Masutomi et al. 2009; White et al. 2011). The modeling studies from Bangladesh (Karim et al. 1996), Japan (Horie et al. 2000), China (Shen et al. 2010), Korea (Lee et al. 2012) and India (Krishnan et al. 2007) reported the country-specific discrepancies in future rice yield due to climate warming; the highest decrease in rice yield will probably occur in most areas of low…

in the water (Solutions). Major causes of ocean acidification are high concentration of carbon dioxide, the industrial revolution, burning of fossil fuels and loss of biodiversity. The industrial revolution was a big producer of carbon dioxide and it began the steady increase of ocean acidity. That alone caused an increase of 30% in the oceans surface acidity (Ocean). Burning fossil fuels creates more carbon dioxide. The loss of biodiversity in the ocean weakens the…

is, when the greenhouse gases absorb IR radiation and prevent it from radiating toward outer space which results in gradual heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and surface. Greenhouse gases that contribute to the global warming include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons. Human activities are changing…

I found an article by Brian Kahn titled “World 's Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Passes 400 PPM Threshold. Permanently” that provides scientific evidence of global warming. His article explains this September the carbon dioxide levels have set a record. He continues to explain how in the month of September, the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are at their lowest for the year. He adds this September, the level of atmospheric CO2 levels never dropped…

coming from El Niño (Reaser et al., 2000). There are countless questions that need to be answered about their conditions. Why does global warming lead to coral bleaching? Is it due to the high acidity of the water? Second, Will the increasing amount of carbon in the water cause permanent damage or can it be stopped? Third, what methods can be used to completely end this or slow it…

Physical Geography of Bethlehem Bethlehem is a suburban town that consists of seven hamlets: North and South Bethlehem, Elsmere, Slingerlands, Delmar, Glenmont, and Selkirk. Bethlehem is a total of 49.6 square miles. 48.8 of those square miles consist of land, and .8 square miles consists or water. Bethlehem is right outside of Albany, the state’s capital. Bethlehem also borders with the towns Guilderland, New Scotland, and Coeymans. Bethlehem and its surrounding towns are all relatively flat,…

companies to trade their carbon cap trade to other business. When looking at the top down approach we can connect that to the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto protocol is a treaty signed internationally in 1992 at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that commits the signee reduce greenhouse gases that are causing global warming. The protocol was developed as to work from the top downwards in a fashion that every country that signs must limit their production of carbon emissions.…
