Current Events 3: Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Since the 1800s, people have been intervening in the carbon, and this disruption has been resulting in increased levels of carbon, which causes the temperature of the earth to rise. We have been disrupting by adding large amounts of nitric oxide by burning fuel, releasing nitrous oxide and contaminating groundwater through the use of commercial inorganic fertilizers, and the destruction of forests, grasslands, and wetlands has resulted in increased levels of atmospheric nitrogen. However, it is proposed that 15% of carbon emissions could be reduced through the implementation of water treatment plants that increase the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The treatment plants will utilize the process of electrolysis to remove and neutralize hydrochloric acid from the ocean using silicate minerals and rocks. This will increase the alkalinity of the ocean, in addition enhancing its absorption of carbon dioxide. The power treatment plants have the ability to greatly cut down carbon emissions and, in turn, reduce global warming.
