Climate change affects people and animals all over the world. It is a global problem, stemming from the overuse of fossil fuels, such as coal. This issue is caused by the production of certain gases known as "greenhouse gases" that prevent sunlight from being released past the atmosphere. As a result, the Earth's overall climate drastically changes the temperatures of different areas around the world. The Environmental Defense Fund state that because of climate change, "Heatwaves are more frequent worldwide... In more naturally arid areas, droughts and wildfires intensify" (EDF).

Over the past years, the amount of electricity has skyrocketed, leading to a high production of carbon dioxide as a byproduct of the coal burned. According to NASA, "Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 [carbon dioxide] concentration by more than a third since the Industrial Revolution began" (NASA). Since then, the amounts of carbon dioxide have increased tremendously, leading to an extreme amount of greenhouse gases produced in the atmosphere and affecting all of Earth. In this way, our planet warms and becomes more and more dangerous to live in.

Chemistry helps to explain the issues with CO2 from the ocean's atmosphere. Carbon is an atom with only four electrons, so it will try and bond with atoms around it, such as oxygen. It forms a double bond and is very hard to separate. Once this bond is formed, the carbon dioxide molecule floats around in the air, and receives infrared radiation from the sun. Carbon dioxide is a non-polar element but is still a diatomic molecule with different electronegativities on different parts of the molecule. Once infrared radiation is absorbed by the molecule, the bonds stretch and vibrate with the additional energy. To get rid of the energy, the CO2 will either emit a photon or transfer the infrared energy into kinetic energy, colliding with other atoms and molecules at a faster speed. As we learned in class, the more movement and collisions that a gas molecule has, the higher the temperature. In this way, global warming is caused.

This project is meaningful to me because climate change is a huge problem in this world, and yet many are not fully aware of the causes and effects of this issue. Future generations will have to deal with a warmer planet with a more unstable climate. This issue is already causing irreversible damage to Earth and we must take action before it is too late.

To combat climate change, many people have begun to search for solutions. While the easiest solution is to simply reduce carbon output, there are other ways to mitigate the carbon problem. Recently, a new idea has appeared called carbon sequestration. This entails the gathering of carbon dioxide from factories and power plants before it has time to float away into the atmosphere. From there, it can be either injected deep underground or in the ocean. Plants naturally undergo carbon sequestration in the air by capturing carbon and putting it into the soil, and the same goes with the ocean, but the idea proposed is to do the same artificially. Carbon sequestration This idea could "cut carbon emissions by 80 or 85 percent," according to George Monbiot, Visiting Professor of Planning at Oxford Brookes University. (Procon.org)

The problem with this idea is that it is very expensive and has not been implemented on a large scale because of its costs. To aid this into going large scale, government could be contacted to help subsidize the costs of this production. The government already supplies monetary benefits for projects in "...pollution prevention and control, cleanup of contaminated industrial sites, farming and land preservation, consumer product waste management, citizen monitoring of environmental regulations..." and more (Yosemite EPA). So to extend this to carbon sequestration would not be unreasonable.

Another issue with this idea is that it only prolongs the problem, and does not effectively solve it. Instead of eliminating carbon dioxide production, we simply put the gas we have created underground. Peter Montague, PhD, Executive Director of the Environmental Research Foundation, writes that "instead of solving the CO2 problem that we've created, CCS [carbon capture and storage, another term for carbon sequestration] would pass the problem along to our children and their children and their children's children. (Procon.org) Yet others worry about leaks and the dangers that come with a large amount of carbon dioxide in a small area. One possible solution could be to separate the carbon and oxygen apart from each other, which would lead to an endless cycle of breathable oxygen. This was discovered in a , where scientists were able to witness "the carbon dioxide molecules splitting into oxygen molecules and carbon atoms "However, though this solution seems feasible, it actually requires a large amount of energy to separate. If a carbon sequestration machine used a form of alternative energy to separate the oxygen and carbon, it could have potential. Even though the alternate energy could replace the coal system in the future, there would still be need to collect excess amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

In order to make a better solution, the problem of little to no cooperation from local fishermen would have to be(Vaquita Could be Next Mammal Extinct). If there was buy in with earlier plans to stop fishing in some places and stop using gillnets altogether, then scientists would not be in this difficult situation.
