Document Summary
If all of the major blocks of land ice were to melt, approximately how much would sea level rise: 220 feet. Which of the following is not evidence for co2 rise being anthropogenically driven: changing albedo of land from urbanization. Why is the general public debating climate change: publicized controversy lowers public confidence, e. g. Climate gate : hackers retrieved 1000 emails, 2000 documents, and code from the climate research unit at university of east angila, primarily from 4 climatologists, released individual statements out of context to the media, e. g. Global climate change review: take home message: the data say that climate change is occurring, there is no debate among scientists on this point. Three camps for mitigation : stop/low the increase of ghg emissions, climate will stabilize or return to previous condition [eventually]. Geoengineering: try to remove ghg from the atmosphere, plans to bury or chemically remove co2 from atm, try to change the amount of solar radiation.
