Global Warming and Climate Change} We must resist the urge to only treat the symptom and not the cause!
We all know to take something like an aspirin if we have a fever or stiffness, Or if we suffer from asthma, to take a rescue inhaler, or to place a nitroglycerin tablet under our tongue if we suffer from some types of heart problems. These only treat the symptoms, of an underlying problem, some just get rid of the pain, so the body's own immune system can fight off the infection and cure itself! Others give the body an extra kick to help do what the body can not do on its own! But these treatments do not stop the cause of the problem, but they do relieve the symptoms. Many people have given ways of stopping Global Warming, that only address the symptoms, an example is to plant 1 trillion trees, sounds like a good solution right, let's say that we do plant them, and we can keep them alive, bringing water to them, keeping animals such as deer from eating them, Preventing an ever warmer climate from burning them down, until they have removed enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to do so. ( even I could not guess how many years that would take ) Or to build carbon dioxide catchers, all over the planet to remove around 400 gigatons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere over the next 30 years, ( now that would be many small mountains. ) If all we are doing is taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, so that we can replicate the climate that we are used too, only postposes and extends what we will absolutely need to do in the not too distant future. And where do we then get, the carbon dioxide that we will need to replant the deserts with, right now we have it in the atmosphere just waiting to grow new plant life! Trees would indeed soak up the carbon dioxide in time, but it would not help to regulate the temperature of the planet! Because it would not reduce the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, these areas are what we have to reduce in size, to make any difference in regulating planet-wide temperature. I can not emphasize enough the importance of this need. Only by using ground cover, can we start the most important task of ridding the planet of so much heat-producing and therefore temperature extremes causing climate! <danielkadavy212@gmail.com> or 402-890-7946 Dan
