Control/adaption to climate change

• Response to anthropogenic climate change may involve control of greenhouse gases and changes to society to minimise severity of effects
• Control of climate change may involve carbon storage: carbon sequestration by planting trees or carbon capture and storage
• Carbon capture and storage involves developmental technology that is able to remove carbon dioxide produced in industrial processes before released. It is then stored in areas
• Geoengineering may help control global climate change, geoengineering involves largely United technologies that control natural processes to reduce anthropogenic climate change such as painting roofs white increasing albedo effect or adding nutrients to sea to stimulate planktonic growtg
• Carbon dioxide emissions may be controlled by reducing fossil fuel emissions, using alternative energy and carbon sequestration
• Alternative energy involves solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy
• Methane emissions may be reduced reducing landfill rubbish, reducing livestock production
• Nitrous oxides emissions can be reduced by using catalytic converters in vehicle exhausts, increased public transport use
• Chloroflourocarbons emissions can be reduced by alternative material use and use of alternative operational services
• Severity of impacts of climate change may be reduced by preparing to cope with predicted change
• Flood control can involve building riverbanks and coastal development to help adapt to climate chnage
• Coastal erosion control involves sea walls and wave screens to help adapt to climate change
• Urban drainage control can help adapt to climate change, their is more sudden or increased rainfall causing flooding this can be managed by using permeable urban surfaces, river flow management, and raised buildings on stilts
• Kyoto protocol (1997) states that greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through the use of this government protocol, this is an agreement legally binding to those countries signed up to meet the emissions reduction targets
