This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Geo-engineeringv2_Elise, Simple and inexpensive supports Plant more trees, We can experiment at a smaller scale, under regulation, to keep geo-engineering safe objects We do not understand complex natural systems, which would be disprupted by geo-engineering, This may cause an increase in acid rain objects Add sulfur compounds to atmosphere, If people try to engineer their way out of trouble, then people will use geo-engineering as an excuse to continue polluting therefore modus ponens people will use geo-engineering as an excuse to continue, Difficult to accomplish objects Recycling CO2 into fuel, Inexpensive and easily reversible option supports Spray saltwater into the atmosphere, Removing excess carbon dioxide types Plant more trees, Difficult to prevent carbon from being released objects Plant more trees, 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, Eject CO2 at the Earth's poles lead to These options seem feasible, Very expensive objects Add sulfur compounds to atmosphere, If geo-engineering disrupts natural systems, then we should not explore geo-engineering therefore modus ponens We should not explore geo-engineering, Removing excess carbon dioxide types Recycling CO2 into fuel, either we should focus only on reducing carbon emissions, or we should explore geo-engineering therefore disjunctive syllogism We should explore geo-engineering, 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, Increase photosynthesis by adding iron to oceans and growing more algae lead to These options seem feasible, We do not understand complex natural systems, which would be disprupted by geo-engineering therefore modus ponens We should not explore geo-engineering, Removing excess carbon dioxide types Eject CO2 at the Earth's poles, Spray saltwater into the atmosphere lead to These options seem feasible, If any options seem feasible, then we should pursue them therefore modus ponens We should pursue these options
