2. Ways to solve
◦ 1) burn fewer fossil fuels. A new study by the Scripps Institution for Oceanography, NCAR, and
Climate Central, says curbing emissions of certain pollutants can help prevent the sea level rise.
◦ 2) reducing emissions of four specific pollutants—methane, tropospheric ozone, hydrofluorocarbons
and black carbon—we could possibly prevent the rate of sea level rise by approximately 25 to 50
percent.
◦ less fracking, cutting back on motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions and chemical solvents,
including windshield washer fluid, creating fewer CFCs and cutting back on anything that creates
smoke or soot.
3) Green roof
4)Better insulation
5)Permeable pavement
6) Reduce peak demand
7) Expand tree canopy
8) Renewable energy

3. Definition and ways
MITIGRATION ADAPTION
actions that reduce the human contribution to
the planetary greenhouse effect
adjustments that societies or ecosystems make
to limit the negative effects of climate change
or to take advantage of opportunities provided
by a changing climate
Example:
-Reduce air travel
-Energy conservation
-Reduce motorized
transportation
-Capture landfill gas
(methane)
-Expand public transport
Example:
-Sewer Upgrade
-Drainage Upgrade
-Heat alert system
-Business Continuity plan
-Control of invasive species
-Disease control

4. Causes of sea level rising
◦ The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by
◦ 1)warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms) and
◦ 2)increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets. The oceans are absorbing
more than 90 percent of the increased atmospheric heat associated with emissions from human
activity.

5. Ways to measure sea level
◦ Sea level is primarily measured using tide stations and satellite laser altimeters. Tide stations
around the globe tell us what is happening at a local level—the height of the water as measured
along the coast relative to a specific point on land. Satellite measurements provide us with the
average height of the entire ocean. Taken together, these tools tell us how our ocean sea levels
are changing over time.

6. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) is the first of
NOAA's next generation of geostationary weather satellites. Among the many
missions of this satellite, it will collect ocean and climate data.
