A list of realistic climate change solutions
The main factors that influence climate change: How we source materials (mining/farming/artificially) can destroy habitats and increase emissions. How we manufacture goods (industrial processes) can increase greenhouse gas emissions How we transport goods (CO2-intensive international trips) Our mass consumption (electricity/food/material possessions) The success of a Circular Economy (a system based on the re-cycling of goods to reduce waste) Now we know the factors, let's move on to the effects: It can be hard to visualise the impacts these factors have on Earth, which is why I think the 9 Planetary Boundaries (2023) is a very useful tool: Extra information to support the graph: Ocean acidification : 1/4 of C02 emitted dissolves in the ocean, here it forms carbonic acid, altering ocean chemistry making it more acidic. Beyond a threshold concentration, this rising acidity makes it hard for organisms such as corals and some shellfish and ...
