We prepared this presentation to illustrate how Terracopia addresses carbon dioxide emissions, global warming and climate change as part of her system of consolidated environmental impact measurement.
There is enough copper to last us another 88 years at current rates of consumption and recycling.
Taking into account both discovered and undiscovered oil, there will be enough to last for another 26,500 days at our current rate of consumption. Oil cannot be recycled, once it is burned.
Atmospheric Carbon and other Greenhouse Gasses are compromising the earth’s ability to cool itself, causing mean surface temperatures to rise. The accumulation of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere is trapping 0.12% of incoming solar radiation.
Although North Sea Cod is still in crisis (biomass is one third of its 1964 level), Atlantic Mackerel staged a great recovery in recent decades. Prior to the collapse of Atlantic Mackerel stocks in 1976, the peak biomass had been 1.7 million tonnes in 1972. In 2004, after severe measures had been implemented by the US Government, stocks had bounced back to 2.3 million tonnes. If we know, we can act.
Biomass is the engine of the earth, converting the sun's energy into food, materials and sub systems to sustain life and circulate nutrients. Mankind is eroding this engine at an alarming rate and dispensing with known and unknown bits of it, without heed to how the function of the engine is affected.
