Week 8 -- Global Warming


Society took its time to adjust to rising sea level. Parts of Los Angeles were underwater due to sea levels rising but then receded. Society eventually started to switch to renewable energy sources. These new sources are solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, and ultimately fusion energy sources. Los Angeles will have had to adapt to turning seawater to potable water; the new energy sources make this possible. Natural contributions to global warming such as volcanic eruptions and solar activity have increased the global temperature at points. Anthropogenic effects were much more significant. As more advanced societies become more efficient in their resource usage, growing countries start to use much more resources offsetting the gains. Global warming occurred but eventually was brought under control. It took many years for society to realize they need to be better about using the limited resources of the earth. Society became better about how It generates and uses energy to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Farming practices were changed to hydroponics and less pollution generating techniques. One of the significant factors in controlling global warming was the expansion of the human race across the solar system. This allowed there to be a smaller population and to spread resource collection across the solar system.
