how will you get around if we have less cars. taxing the factories that make our products they would just raise the price on the items it would be wours for us in this teerible economy. in this economy we cant pay people to use their bikes the gov would go even more broke

Humans and society cannot stop using cars. If everyone used bikes, I guess we wouldnt go to fast food restaurants as often. Plan on getting more buses – How about a more sophisticated system of travel. Suggest?

By: candace on November 16, 2009
at 12:51 PM
candace,
Aerosol cans release CFC’s into the atmosphere, not all hair sprays. Pump sprays are ok to use. Since Earth turns every 24 hours, factories in other countries pollute the atmosphere and we do not have any more jobs. 3rd how would exercising more decrease CO2 emissions?
By: mrborden on November 16, 2009

at 1:40 PM
1ST, I am glad that you do not believe in drugs use. 2nd, While smoke from cigarettes/marijuana can be toxic to other people it is not a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. 3rd, killing animals has nothing to do with carbon dioxide emissions as discussed in class. Animals produce carbon dioxide but not in significant amounts to increase atmospheric carbon dioxide.

1) reduce cow population to mini cows
2) grow more seaweed in the ocean
3) more mass extinctions
By: erik on November 16, 2009
at 1:56 PM
So we can let “Jack” bring his mini cows to our neighborhood?
#2 excellent and interesting suggestion, seed the ocean #3 You obviously saw the movie 2012 this weekend, which is not based on sound scientific data – it is a movie not real. Mass extinctions are happening right now in the rain forest in South America and some areas of the ocean. Mass extinctions usually have climatic consequences somtimes more extreme than the previous era.

1 plant 2 or 3 trees for every one tree you cut down
2 car pool for less gases
3 stop using aerosol cans
4 use water as substitute for gasolines…some reports said that it uses hydrogen power and does not give out dirty smokes…)
By: jessicafaye on November 16, 2009

excellent suggestions , hydrogen power is presently too expensive to produce but soon it will not be. Great job researching alternate energy types.

We have too many cows to send to the moon in the United States. So if I ask, “Where’s the beef?”
will be on the moon?
Can you plant plants in a planter without getting planterphaciitis?
#3 And use what for transportation?
By: mrborden on November 16, 2009
at 5:46 PM
Anyone who did not get a response was because the comments partially met the objective. No one told me why these 3 laws would reduce CO2. Some were obvious, while others I had no clue what you suggested.
I tried to provide feedback when the answers were either: way off the objective, impractical, or I needed further clarification.
See if You can respond to someone else’s post. Be respectful or your comment will not be posted and you will receive no points for this assignment.

By: rodrigo on November 22, 2009
at 5:06 PM
What i would do if i were president. I would increase the amount of plants on the planet,qwarntine cows from massive ozone holes,and STOP the use of gas cars and use hybrid’s. According to Oborden, “Because Our generation faces the greatest moral and political crisis in human history. Will we take the steps necessary to avert catastrophic global warming or will we doom ourselves to a new Dark Ages in a world that is biologically and economically impoverished and defined by ever diminishing quality of life. Extreme global warming could give us a future where erratic and chaotic weather, rising sea levels, and melting snowpack usher in an epic of drought, crop failure, famine, flood and mass extinctions — and the political instability that invariably accompanies dwindling resources. Millions of environmental refugees uprooted by these calamities will challenge the existence of democracy, freedom, justice and human dignity in every corner of the globe. Our grandchildren may look longingly at our era as the apex of civilization and human progress.”

Excellent points Arthur – It is too bad that most of your statement is not yours. You must use a reference if you are going to cut and paste or copy words or ideas from a textbook. It is definitly ok to use a passage to explain your idea, you must reference it and give the author credit. Your first statement was excellent, so indent like this:
“Because Our generation faces the greatest moral and political crisis in human history. Will we take the steps necessary to avert. etc”

I believe the Earth is heating up according to scientists.
“Preventing Earth’s average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels requires limiting carbon emissions to no more than 1 trillion metric tons. The two-degree limit comes from the most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a way to reduce the risks of severe impacts from a warming climate.”
