mitigation and human intervention

Question 1

CCS

Answer 1

carbon capture and storage aimed to reduce 90% of co2 in atmosphere from fossil fuels

Question 2

where is carbon stored during CCS

Answer 2

-in deep underground oil tanks
-in oceans
-deep saline intrusions

Question 3

how is carbon stored durintg CCS

Answer 3

turned into liquid and pumped in

Question 4

what are 5 ways to mitigate against climate change

Answer 4

-use renewable energys
-ccs
-reducing fuel
-changing rural land use
-urban design

Question 5

how will urban design how mitigate climate change

Answer 5

sustainable urban designs can reduce co2 used within construction, also white buildings and roads can increase solar radiation reflection.

Question 6

changing rural land use

Answer 6

carbon stores can be improved by ensuring inputs to soil are greater than losses. grassland offer mitigation of 810 million tonnes of co2.
-avoid overgrazing
-add manure
-irrigation

Question 7

use of agriculture as mitigation

Answer 7

grasslands can sequest 810 million tonnes of co2. adding manure and fertiliser can increase plant productivity. reducing levels of ploughing, this weakens the ground and allows for erosion which releases co2. use improved crop varietys that increase co2 capture.

Question 8

how will ploughing affect co2 levels

Answer 8

ploughin weakens soil and leads to soil erosion which releases co2 into the atmosphere.

Question 9

how will manure help climate change

Answer 9

manure will increase plant productivity.

Question 10

what is REDD

Answer 10

proposed by the UN in 2005 and launched in 2008, reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation

Question 11

what does redd do

Answer 11

to create an incentive for countrys to protect their rainforests
