| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews two case studies from North Carolina State University regarding the positive impact of plants on climate change. States that "scientists estimate that with current trends, temperature increases of at least seven to 12 degrees seem likely over the next 50 to 100 years, which will increase sea levels and change weather patterns in unpredictable ways." Suggests that if large amounts of carbon dioxide are removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis and then held in stable plant material or organic matter, it could offset the carbon dioxide generated by fossil fuel use. Describes carbon calculators and the potential benefits they present in monitoring carbon dioxide levels. Provides a chart with results from the case studies. |
