QUESTION WITH VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS | UPDATED
Water seems to be heavily impacted by global warming. The global temperature increases as time goes on. - ---Answers- --I think the economy will be heavily impacted. With no earth to live on how we can keep going. Costs should hopefully we can cut down costs if we combat economic impacts.
Take a moment to select a new target warming threshold. - -- -Answers---+2
- ---Answers---I think this will meet our target goal. With
enough effort for each group bringing enough degrees. The target is just at 2 degrees which is the target.
Think back to what you've done so far - what are the factors that affect the temperature of the Earth? - ---Answers--- Distance from the Sun Albedo Atmosphere Solar luminosity
Which of these factors do you think are areas that could be changed deliberately by human endeavor in the near future?Select all that apply - you will be scored based on completion, not accuracy. - ---Answers---Earth's albedo (ratio of reflected sunlight) 1 / 2
Composition of Earth's atmosphere Energy reaching Earth from the Sun
In 1991 an event occurred which changed the Earth's albedo temporarily - what was that event? - ---Answers---A massive volcanic eruption
If human-made aerosols were introduced into the atmosphere, how could they help reach your warming target? - --- Answers---Aerosols reduce the amount of solar energy reaching Earth, reducing its temperature
Do you think this would be a good idea? Why or why not? - --- Answers---I think humans are doing enough to hurt the Earth's atmosphere. However with more studies I think it could be worth a shot.
What would be the impact on Earth's climate of reducing the brightness of the Sun? - ---Answers---Less energy would arrive at Earth, and the overall temperature would drop
Do you think this would be a good idea? Why or why not? - --- Answers---Once again, I think Humans changing anything that isn't natural is not right. It is impossible to change the brightness of the sun.
If carbon dioxide is behind the warming trend, why not just remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? What effect
