Study Notes
- Global warming is inevitable and is caused by the emission of carbon dioxide from human activity
- There are a number of possible ways to try and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted, but the most promising option at present is to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide
- One possible way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to geoengineer the environment in order to cool the Earth or reverse the melting of the poles
- There are a number of potential ways to geoengineer the environment, but most involve the use of aerosols to create clouds that will reflect sunlight away from the Earth
- Some scientists believe that it is impractical to try and stop the southward movement of ice from Spitsbergen, but others believe that cables could be used to divert the ice
