Document Summary

Possible ways to reduce global warming: use less fossil fuel, capture the co2 released when fossil fuel is burned, avoid production and/or release of other greenhouse gases, reduce the amount of solar energy that reaches the ground. Types of long-term storage: react co2 with metal ions to form solid carbonates. Inject captured co2 into underground geologic reservoirs, such as depleted oil fields or saline water-filled formations: reuse captured co2 to enhance oil recovery or produce methanol. Possible ways to reduce global warming: use less fossil fuel, capture the co2 released when fossil fuel is burned, avoid production and/or release of other greenhouse gases. Increase the rate at which co2 is removed from the atmosphere. Alternate sources of energy: nuclear power, hydroelectric power, wind power, solar power, geothermal energy, biomass, including wood. Ozone depletion: formula for ozone = o3, ozone is formed in the stratosphere, when an oxygen (o2) molecule is broken up by incoming ultraviolet radiation.
