Why is the modeling of ozone layer depletion more accepted than modeling for global warming?

Ozone layer depletion is not a major cause of climate change. Global warming will be more significant contributor of climate change on earth.

<h3>What is ozone layer depletion and global warming?</h3>

Ozone layer depletion is the thinning of the ozone layer present in the upper atmosphere. This happens when ozone molecules interact with atmospheric chlorine and bromine atoms and break down. One chlorine molecule is capable of destroying one ozone molecule. It is not produced as quickly as it is destroyed.

The phenomenon of rising average air temperatures close to the surface of the Earth over the previous one to two centuries is known as global warming. This change has disturbed the climatic pattern of the earth. The burning of fossil fuels, logging of forests, and raising of livestock all have a rising impact on the climate and temperature of the planet. This increases the greenhouse effect and causes global warming by adding a significant amount of greenhouse gases to those that are already present in the atmosphere.

Ozone layer depletion is more acceptable than global warming because global warming is more responsible for the climate change in the earth, it traps huge amount of gases which rise the earth's temperature. Climate change may not primarily be caused by the ozone hole. Although a larger ozone hole does not contribute to global warming, the presence of ozone, a greenhouse gas, has a warming impact. The ozone hole itself has a minor cooling effect (about 2 % of the warming effect of greenhouses gases) because ozone in the stratosphere absorbs heat radiated to space by gases in a lower layer of Earth’s atmosphere. A small amount of heat can escape from that area into space as a result of the loss of ozone.

olga55 [171]

Adaptive genes are selected and passed from generation to generation.

<h3>Natural selection and the evolution of long necks in giraffes</h3>

According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, natural selection selects for adaptive genes in organisms and deselects non-adaptive genes.

Thus, adaptive genes are passed from generation to generation.

In the case of the giraffes. It is plausible that their ancestors kept on stretching their necks in order to feed as the trees they fed on kept growing taller. The taller the tree grows, the longer the ancestors of giraffes stretched their necks to reach it. Otherwise, they just might have to die of starvation.

This adaptation activated the long-neck genes in the ancestors of giraffes. Natural selection selects this trait and it was passed down across generations.

Based on your readings about Bt corn, express your opinion about whether or not farmers should continue planting Bt corn. Explai
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Although it is controversial topic, it is not a recommended practice among socienty to cultivate BT corn when alternative methods of increasing plant yield are already available. On the other hand, scientists are encouraging more research on genetically modified (GM) solutions with lesser/reduced impact on ecosystem.

Explanation:

Although, cultivating BT corn helps improving the yield, reduce insecticides usage, and enhance the grain quality, it has been extensively debated to reduce this practice globally. This is because of severals reasons. At first, cultivation of BT corn affects non-target organisms that interact with the plant for symbiotic or neutral reasons including pollination. Due to genetic modificaitons, BT corn produce BT-proteins that kills the non-target organism. Secondly, it increases the insect resistance and those insects which survives even after chewing plant tissues of BT-corn, they are found to have resistance against several toxins at high doses. Once these chemicals enters the food chain, they could be extremely toxic to other naturally growing organisms.

Prince Charles stated that use of GM plants is disaster and should be banned immediately. Likewise, he said that it is also impacting the climate change. On the other hand, Prof. Smith showed a contradictory opinion and said that the views of Prince Charles are saddening. He is seeing the one sided picture only. He should ask for extensive research rather discouraging this aspect of modern science.

In my opinion, I would also say that the technology should be improved and make more eco-friendly rather than complete abolishing especially when the apparent benefits are greater than the harmful effects.
