...are rising, ice caps are melting and the impacts are likely to be felt within the next 50 years. A great deal of attention is focused on how to prevent future climate change, but a realistic approach is how to adapt to climate change. Even the most aggressive strategies are unlikely to prevent climate change occurring. Therefore, adaptive strategies are highly important.
1. Ocean Iron Fertilization; this is the introduction of iron into upper ocean regions with the aim of increasing the food chain so that carbon dioxide can be sequestered taking it out of the atmosphere. By increasing the food chain declining plankton populations may be revived and allow carbon dioxide be sequestered in plankton, which was into the bottom disease with escalator remains after they die removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (Powell, 2008).
So far iron fertilization...
