Cut Soot to Stave Off Sea Level Rise
In the article " Cut Soot to Stave Off Sea Level Rise" which was published by Scientific American on Sunday, April 4, 2013, David Biello report cleaning soot could slow sea level rise. Soot are dirty particles that clog lungs, causing asthma and other chronic breathing problems. Researchers looked at soot and other greenhouse gases and studies show that cutting these types of air pollution could slow climate change, buying time to bring carbon dioxide emission under control. Cleaning soot would slow the rate of sea level rise by mare than 20% per year. This would prevent roughly degree celsius of additional warming meaning less thermal expansions of ocean water and less meltdown of ice sheets.
I chose this article because I never knew that cleaning soot could slow sea level rise. What is interesting about this article is that not only will it slow down sea level rise by 20% per year but it also will lessen the chance of getting asthma and other chronic breathing problems because we are cleaning the thing that causes those problems.
I believe the next step to making this happen is to make a move and clean soot. This could change the rise in sea level and drastically change the health of many people. Cleaning soot might also help the price demanded by the waves lapping ever higher at the shore. The effects of cleaning soot or not letting it occur are all positive so we should make an effort and help the environment and the people living in it.
