Question

we considered the uncertainty of how the climate system will respond to the buildup of greenhouse gasses (the basic climate science) and how much emissions will actually grow in the future. How does the concept of risk intersect with these uncertainties to inform the actions of individuals, communities, and governments? What are the challenges of communicating these concepts to our students and to our communities?

1. What do you think this statement means?

2. what are the implications of this "understanding?

Explanation / Answer

1. The above statement deals with interactions of our future generations with the issue of environment. As we know that the greenhouse gases can cause rise in the temperature of the coming decades but if we’ll see the past of our earth we’ll found that the amount of carbon dioxide in the past (talking geologically) was very high and even with such high concentration of carbon dioxide we have life on earth hence we can say that there’s a ligh uncertainty of how our climate system will respond to high concentrations of green house gases.

2. If we’ll be knowing the exact response of our earth with increased volume of green house gases then we can modify our release of these gases and can actually work for the environment precisely.
