Defying Climate Change
Using Biotechnology to Combat Climate Change
-
Using Biotechnology to help prevent climate change has shown to be somewhat, if not very, effective
​
-
Illness rates are expected to drastically decrease due to the work of Biotechnology's biofuels
​
-
Technology and Science, like camera traps and tracking devices, help scientists study the actions of animals in the wild. This can provide them with valuable information on how to save endangerened species.
-
Major companies and organizations, like NASA, WWF, and National Geographic, are helping Scientists fund progects. Many groups are also conducting their own studies.
-
Solar powered cars and other fuel effecient machines are being created to help Biotecnology.
-
Malnutrision is becomeing more and more common in rural areas due to crop shortage- with biotechnology scientists hope to discover new ways to combat this major issue.
-
The climate would not be as extream as it has been the last hundred years- meaning there would aslso be fewer fires due to drought and blizzards.
-
Politicials are spreading knowledge about biothechnology advancements.
-
More and more people are getting involved
-
Money and Costs: The American Government Doesn't have all the Money they need to fund Research and pay off debts
-
​ In the long run, so much research could end up hurting the environment instead of helping it.
-
Not only Biotechnology can save the Earth-- humans also have to be willing to step up and take responsibility for their actions
-
With the Earth's population expected to double in the upcoming years, more people mean more pollution. It could almost be impossible to stop the sudden rise.
-
Many argue that there is no such thing as climate change and state that there is no need to waste money conducting research.
-
What has been harmed may never be able to be gained back
-
As urbanization takes over rural areas, more cars, factories, and people move in. This increases pollution levels and trash output.
-
Millions of people have already been affected and adapted to climate change.
