In 2009, environmental analyst Lester R. Brown estimated that reforesting the earth and restoring the earth's degraded rangeland

s would cost about $15 billion a year. Suppose the United States, the world's most affluent country, agreed to put up half of this money, at an average annual cost of $25 per American citizen. Would you support doing this? Explain. What other part or parts of the federal budget would you decrease to come up with these funds?

Considering how large of a GDP the US have, I would agree with such a move. There's several reasons why I would agree on such a move. One of them is of course the well being of the nature, as it is crucial for the survival of every living organism, including the humans. Reforestation will bring in lot of benefits that will gradually return the investment. For starters, the air quality will improve, and by doing so, the health problems among the people will reduce significantly, thus much less will be spent on healthcare. Part of the new forests can be fruit forests, which will be an enormous reserve of organic food without having to use any labor or effort in production. Also, by establishing forests, whole ecosystems will get back on the scene, so lot of useful plants can be harvested from the forests, such as herbs and mushrooms. If the US makes a deal so that it can use certain part of the benefits from the forests until it gets its enormous investment, it will be a win-win situation for everyone. In order to have the budget for the global reforestation, it would be the best to cut down on the budget for development of weapon of mass destruction and the budget for war.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Yes, there are certain planet that are not detected even if they are large.

Explanation:

  • The Doppler method is the radial-velocity method, and also an indirect method finding the extra solar planets and the brown dwarfs. While the transit method is a phenomenon only the celestial bodies are directly between a large body and an observer body.
  • However, the transit method of the transiting planet is low as it depends on the alignment of the three objects that are in a near perfect straight line patterns. And that of the Doppler method that it can only measure movements along that line of sight, and this depends on the estimates of inclination of the planet's orbit to determine its mass.  
  • <u>Thus of a planet is found by both these methods we can find its density, and an indication of its composition.</u>
