Planetary Boundary

Hi everyone!! With this entry i will try to give an example about one boundary of our planet. As we know our planet has a boundary about carbon dioxyde. And the rate of carbon dioxyde is increasing day by day. 
And today, rate of carbon dioxyde is: 

If this rate increase like this, we will have to face some problems. Main problem is; "Climate Change". With climate change brings another problems and these are really effective for our lives. 

Increasing of corbon dioxyde rate and Climate Change will bring this problems for us: 
  • melting of icebergs
  • damages on potable water
  • damages on climate system
  • decrease on biological diversity

Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it and i hope it is useful for everyone.

  1. Dear Metin,

    You have created a very visual entry with graphs and figures, however it would be more interesting for the readers to introduce the link with the current carbon data.

    It is very interesting that you are student of science education, one of the objectives of this course is to create simple messages about the global environmental problems for the people. In fact, at the end of the course you and the other students will have to go to a high school to expose such messages.

  2. Hi Metin, as we saw in class on climate change is a planetary boundaries we have passed, making it one of the major problems we face. I find it interesting the data you've provided. A greeting.

  3. As you mentioned, Metin, the carbon dioxide rate in the atmosphere has an great effect and causes problems. To avoid an increasing of the problems that are caused by this process, we have to stop the emissions to the atmosphere.
    I know that this is political and econimical very bad feasible, but we have to start with an reduction of the emissions and then we will see.... maybe we will reach a point of low carbon dioxide emissions....
    Anyway, a good example.
    Saludos!
