A Plan to Keep Carbon in Check
- Increase in CO2 threatens biosphere; hurricanes get stronger, summers get hotter, and polar bears suffer
- Carbon intensity, linked to GDP and CO2 emission, must be decreased fully as economy grows
- When societies get richer, services are given priority and carbon intensity decreases
- Clever inventions and innovations can replace most of the world's plants, reducing carbon intensity
- New science and engineering needed to squeeze down costs, but lowering CO2 by 2056 is possible now
- Ending fossil fuel usage and pursuing alternative fuels, or making "smart" coal plants that deal with CO2 proble
- Using hydropower, wind-power, and geothermal power has very little carbon intensity (1 wedge)
- Nuclear power also considered, but dangerous and wasteful (2 wedges)
- No-till agriculture, deforestation, and reducing methane also helps CO2 depletion
- Government must encourage use of low-carbon tech, mediation and compensation of rising CO2 levels
- The future will be filled with fossil-fuel plants that have more efficient, cleaner operation, or alternatives
Summary:
Today the world has been increasing in CO2 levels. The level is expected to raise to double in the next 50 years. The increase of CO2 level can be a very serious problem. It can harm the environment. Including the weather and the health of individuals. But there are ways to make this stop. A system comprised of wedges with cleanest level can be used to calculate this. The nuclear power consider a dangerous and wasteful. The future can be filled with fossil-fuel plants that have more efficient, cleaner operation, or alternatives.
