If we build coal ordsprog

If we build coal plants with no carbon dioxide capture mechanism, there is no way we can prevent massive global warming.

[March 2002 Rising carbon dioxide levels associated with global warming could lead to an increase in the incidence of allergies to ragweed and other plants by mid-century, according to a report appearing in the March Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology by Harvard University researchers. The study found that ragweed grown in an atmosphere with double the current carbon dioxide levels produced 61 percent more pollen than normal. Such a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide is expected to occur between 2050 and 2100.] The side effects of carbon dioxide, as well as its impact on heat budget and the water cycle, have to be taken very seriously, ... I believe this study can help us understand the true costs of burning fossil fuels.

That just a forcing function though. To really understand the carbon cycle, you have to look at the circulation, biology and chemistry of the oceans where the carbon dioxide goes, the photosynthesis of plants as they breath carbon dioxide, the decomposition of plants, and many other forces.

There are a lot of parallels between coal and nuclear energy. The plants are really expensive to build and there's an issue about disposing of large amounts of [carbon dioxide] waste that could get really costly.

In ways we've looked at pollution in the past, coal has cleaned up. But the bigger problem we face now is carbon dioxide, which clean coal plants still emit.

Human societies rely heavily on hydro-carbon power and this produce a lot of carbon dioxide that increases the global warming.

The planet's been through several episodes of global warming before, and nature put carbon away as coal, petroleum, and carbonate sediments. Now we're in charge, and we need to do the same. We can literally 'put away' carbon in our own built environment.

She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted. Now we're in charge, and we need to do the same. We can literally 'put away' carbon in our own built environment.

It is an important first step because most F-gases have a global warming effect thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide.

There's this skin on the Earth - plants - that has an effect on a global scale, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and letting water go, in a dynamic way that has climatic implications.

Businesses know carbon dioxide will be regulated in the future and would rather make it part of the cost to build a new plant now rather than wait and have to add technology. These plants are 40- to 50-year investments.

[If the role of sulfur cooling proves to be large, and this is still far from certain, some researchers say it could be necessary to continue burning fossil fuels in order to produce sulfur dioxide to fight the carbon dioxide-driven warming.] I would not be surprised if somebody suggested concentrating fossil fuel power plants on the eastern margins of continents, which would put a lot of sulfates into the atmosphere, which would rain out over the oceans, which have a tremendous capacity to absorb acidity, ... This plan would make sense because the prevailing winds blow from east to west.

If all the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuel burning were to stay in the atmosphere, its rate of accumulation in the atmosphere would be two-and-a-half times faster than it actually is, and climate would change two-and-a-half times faster. Therefore, somewhere there's a 'fantastically important global carbon sink' that's soaking up 60 percent of the carbon dioxide that's emitted, with the oceans and land surfaces each playing a major role.

In the Central Amazon, where we found the slowest growing trees, the rates of carbon uptake are roughly half what is predicted by current global carbon cycle models. As a result, those models—which are used by scientists to understand how carbon flows through the Earth system—may be overestimating the forests' capacity to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The more dependent we are on oil, the more exposed our economy becomes to price shock, the more entangled the United States becomes in the world's trouble spots, the more political pressure increases to drill our nation's finest wilderness areas, the more carbon dioxide we emit, and the more risks we take with global warming.
