Many climate scientists set the upper limit of carbon dioxide that we should not cross at 560 ppm. In 2011, the atmospheric conc

entration was 390 ppm. Unless dramatic changes are put into place, we will probably surpass the 560 ppm threshold before the end of this century. What predicted effects could this bring?Question 5 options:1) melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet2) glacier and permafrost melt3) ocean acidification4) rapidly accelerated warming5) All of the above are correct.

Answer:

5) All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When its concentration in the atmoshpere rises above normal, it can affect the climate pattern and lead to climate change.

Carbon dioxide prevents outgoing solar radiation from escaping the earth's atmosphere and this warms the earth surface. The more the presence of the gas, the more heating that would result.

Excessive release of carbon dioxide causes a phenomenon known as global warming. Global warming is simply the warming of the globe.

The consequences includes:

  • Melting of Greenland ice sheets as temperature spikes.
  • Glaciers and permafrosts in temperate and polar regions will melt.
  • Ocean acidification due to dissolution of excess carbon dioxide in sea water to form carbonic acid.
  • There is general increase in surface temperature due to accelerated warming.

1 Point<br> Why are fossil fuels used so much today?
Volgvan
Fossil fuels store their energy in the chemical bonds that hold the hydrocarbon molecules together. That energy can stay trapped like that right up until the moment the hydrocarbons meet both heat and oxygen (O2).

Heat (from a match or spark) breaks the hydrocarbon and oxygen molecules apart, and then oxygen atoms react with the freed carbon and hydrogen atoms to give carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), and loads of energy as heat along the way.


combustion - burning fuel for energy
That extra heat is the key to fossil fuel's success. More heat energy is released when the new bonds form in CO2 and H2O than it took to break the original bonds in oxygen and the fuel. So once combustion starts, it's a runaway chain reaction giving off excess heat.

We've used the heat directly for cooking and warming, and indirectly to boil water for steam-powered turbines for electricity. The gases given off from burning fuels have driven pistons in internal combustion engines for more than a century.

Not only can we start a fire with a single spark, we can stop it by cutting the supply of fuel, air or heat, so it's a source of energy we can turn on and off as needed.

A controllable source of energy that has only two major downsides — finite supply and being the source of the CO2 that's driving climate change. No wonder fossil fuels have been such a hard habit for industrialised countries to kick.
