Question

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. An example from India involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. This reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. When evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. What factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology? A) cost of construction B) reduced deforestation C) reduced respiratory disease from wood fires D) education of local residents to maintain equipment

Answer 1

Answer:

B) reduced deforestation factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology

Explanation:

For reducing green house gases emission applies to waste-converting operations in another usable form. Examples include waste incineration and heat collection for electricity generation or composting organic waste for compost production. Waste recovery value offset GHG emissions; incinerated waste energy prevents power from generating using coal combustible; compost produces ' locks' in part of fuel; and may absorb more carbon over time. Recycling is not a solution for every threat, because of recycling is not as successful as eliminating or recycling waste as it allows the waste to be transported to a distribution facility, which increases the GHG emissions of its original raw materials.

Nevertheless, the production and refining of fresh raw material avoids GHG-emissions.
