Questions
1.) What are the factors that play a role in instances of bird hits on aircrafts? What precautionary and remedial measures can be taken to prevent mishappening due to such incidents?
2.) Bring out the application of and implications associated with geoengineering to reduce the impacts of global warming.
Kindly review q2 answer
There are some issues. I think (I might be wrong though) that geoengineering refers to specific technologies that are designed towards interventions in earth’s climate systems to reverse climate change. The term is not used in other contexts. So solar energy, wind energy, afforestation measures may not fall under geoengineering. Geoengineering is broadly classified into Solar radiation management (SRM), carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and weather modification (like cloud-seeding). Please search about it.
In implications, you should discuss that the there is lack of understanding regarding unintended consequences of geoengineering. Also, since the impacts will transcend national boundaries, there can be conflicts. So global governance efforts are needed to regulate such efforts.
Your answer should be these lines.
Keep writing 🙂
I am also not sure
However, the goal of geo-engineering is not to fight climate change only
In this question:
I thought Geo-engineering is using natural resources via new technology that were earlier not utilised
Just like cloud seeding modifies clouds, afforestation modifies earth’s land
Thanks for the comprehensive feedback..will see others’ answer
Kindly review it
Perfect! Nice handwriting, proper structure and good content. Nothing much to suggest here. Perhaps You could have also listed lack of adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (like letting the grass to grow in the airfield which attracts birds).
Keep writing 🙂
Thanks!
