Q. Chicago a landmark Energy Department project to bury carbon dioxide produced by humans has begun as workers sunk a huge drill bit into Illinois ground this week, signaling continued support for a climate change mitigation strategy that has fallen out of favor in many circles. The start of drilling marks the launch a geological sequestration project that will deposit a million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the ground by 2012. While that's nothing compared to the several billion tons of CO2 that humans emit yearly, it's the geology of the site that makes the development exciting. The CO2 will be piped into a geological formation that underlies parts of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky that could eventually hold more than 100 billion… [cont.]

A. I would suggest that you do the work required to answer these questions. You were given a brain, and it will never grow if I or others in here do your work for you. The internet has made finding answers rather easy. Plus, there is always the text book assigned for your class. Yes, that rectangular thing with pages. You will never be underserved by knowledge, only ignorance

If more CO2 is better for plants, why are trees in the western US experiencing "widespread mortality"?
Q. A paper published in Science magazine by scientists from the US Geological Survey and USDA (who has a conspiracy theory about why the USGS and USDA would want to perpetrate a global warming hoax?) finds: "Our analyses of longitudinal data from unmanaged old forests in the western United States showed that background (noncatastrophic) mortality rates have increased rapidly in recent decades, with doubling periods ranging from 17 to 29 years among regions." After examining a variety of potential causes, the study concludes: "Regional warming and consequent increases in water deficits are likely contributors to the increases in tree mortality rates." the finger seems to be pointed to warming. says Breshears [U of Arizona ecologist].… [cont.]

A. I've seen the devastation in Montana, entire forests of brown. Locals blame "environmentalists" for not letting them log enough... during the Bush administration (now that's a laugh!), leaving the trees too dense and susceptible to beetles. This report exposes that assumption as overly simplistic nonsense. The actual causes? The report spells it out clearly: - Reduced snowpack = drought - Earlier snowpack runoff, lengthening summer drought - Warmer temperatures = greater evaporative loss It's funny to see people attack you for pointing out a peer-reviewed paper published in Science, or for referencing the opinion of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. By refusing to comment on the evidence directly,… [cont.]
