Clean Development

The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!

Can we do this without making the planet warmer?

Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Key Processes

bryanY22

On this planet the main way to tackle both climate change and other major conditions is to change the processes we carry out and which ones we use. You may be confused by the statement, but I have examples to help with that. For processes we carry out, these would be the processes we help and cause to happen, such as how we cause eutrophication by using fertilizers and causing runoff with certain irrigation systems. This leads to more carbon secretion which will lead to increased climate depending on the intensity of the eutrophication. There is also how we release more carbon into the air by tilling the soil and which forms of transportation we use. But processes we use are ones that we use because of their efficiency and we have yet to find an alternative method. These ones would include transportation due to how there are many forms of transportation we can't find an alternative to without decreasing efficiency or carbon output. Mainly flying, because if you drove a car across a country instead of flying there is the chance that the same amount of carbon will be emitted. Then there is the way we process meat, where the process to make the meat and what methods we use are ones we stick to since they are ones we have followed for more efficiency. But by using alternative methods we can decrease the carbon out put and the temperature. Such as taking the bus and using different methods of farming. Concluding how the processes we use are one of the main reasons we have the problem of climate change and how they are the solution.
