This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Geo-engineering_Elise, We should not focus only on reducing carbon emissions therefore disjunctive syllogism We should explore geo-engineering, Simple and inexpensive supports Plant more trees, We should explore geo-engineering therefore modus ponens we need to address the problems it might cause and determine if it is safe, It is very hard for the entire planet to give up fossil fuels therefore modus ponens It is not likely that we will significantly reduce carbon emissions, Removing excess carbon dioxide types Recycling CO2 into fuel, Can be accomplished with existing technology supports Increase photosynthesis by adding iron to oceans and growing more algae, Very expensive objects Add sulfur compounds to atmosphere, Removing excess carbon dioxide types Eject CO2 at the Earth's poles, This may cause an increase in acid rain objects Add sulfur compounds to atmosphere, We can experiment at a smaller scale to keep geo-engineering safe objects We do not understand complex natural systems, which would be disprupted by geo-engineering, It is not likely that we will significantly reduce carbon emissions therefore modus ponens We should not focus only on reducing carbon emissions, Difficult to accomplish objects Recycling CO2 into fuel, Difficult to prevent carbon from being released objects Plant more trees, If we do not give up fossil fuels, then we cannot significantly reduce carbon emissions therefore modus ponens It is not likely that we will significantly reduce carbon emissions, No on is suggesting that geo-engineering is a substitute for reducing CO2 objects people will try to engineer their way out of trouble, reducing the amount of sunlight reaching Earth's surface types Add sulfur compounds to atmosphere, We do not understand complex natural systems, which would be disprupted by geo-engineering therefore modus ponens We should not explore geo-engineering, we need to address the problems it might cause and determine if it is safe types of geo-engineering reducing the amount of sunlight reaching Earth's surface, people will try to engineer their way out of trouble therefore modus ponens We should not explore geo-engineering and should only focus on reducing CO2, We should not explore geo-engineering and should only focus on reducing CO2 objects either we should focus only on reducing carbon emissions, or we should explore geo-engineering
