Question

We could avoid a large increase in temperature if greenhouse emissions peaked by the year of ?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Greenhouse effect: warming up of the earth's surface due to the high immersion of man-made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

• The concentration of carbon dioxide works like a gas panel of greenhouse allowing short incoming wave of solar radiation to come in but preventing the long heat wave to re-radiate out.

Measure to avoid a large increase in temperature of greenhouse emission such as:

• Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

• Factories install smoke filters.

• The vehicle uses natural gas or batteries.

• Use less heat and air conditioning.

• Do not burn plastic and other trash in open.

• Plant seedlings and trees.

• Enforce strict law on environment protection.

• Make people aware of Environmental campaign.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earth’s climate is changing rapidly. We know this from billions of observations, documented in thousands of journal papers and texts and summarized every few years by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The primary cause of that change is the release of carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and natural gas.

One of the goals of the international Paris Agreement on climate change is to limit the increase of the global surface average air temperature to 2 degrees Celsius, compared to preindustrial times. There is a further commitment to strive to limit the increase to 1.5℃.

Earth has already, essentially, reached the 1℃ threshold. Despite the avoidance of millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions through use of renewable energy, increased efficiency and conservation efforts, the rate of increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remains high.

International plans on how to deal with climate change are painstakingly difficult to cobble together and take decades to work out. Most climate scientists and negotiators were dismayed by President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

But setting aside the politics, how much warming are we already locked into? If we stop emitting greenhouse gases right now, why would the temperature continue to rise?

Basics of carbon and climate

The carbon dioxide that accumulates in the atmosphere insulates the surface of the Earth. It’s like a warming blanket that holds in heat. This energy increases the average temperature of the Earth’s surface, heats the oceans and melts polar ice. As consequences, sea level rises and weather changes.
