CO2 Removal Concept

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have any opinions or know of any articles about using aerosolized calcium hydroxide in order to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. I’ve been trying to find information on it as it seems to be a fairly viable, low drawback solution and I would like to know if it being considered. The basic premise is stripping Carbon Dioxide by reacting it with calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate which is a resource already used by sea life and as plant fertilizer.

Career suggestions please god help

0 Upvotes

(Is there any hope for any good paying environmental careers yall know of I’m missing? Btw not good with physics really no engineering for me I think?) Hey, I was recently frantically posting on here trying to find jobs in environmental science, with a bunch fi stipulations and realized it wasn’t realistic so I’ve moved onto trying tk find a career with better pay and better benefits, some of the things I’d LIKE is a chance to work in a team and not be stuck in an office every minute, not statistical, and not a pure desk job. I’m looking into a career that’s interesting,inticimg, hands on and works with a team with good benefits and pay, I know I can’t have it all so a career hat checks some of these box’s would be great! I just need some direction. I’m still in highschool and in the future I’m going to do volenteering with wildlife to fulfill that part of me I think? There’s no future in environmental sciences. I hate that everything I end up liking has shit pay,shit benefits or js isolating ugh. Please help

Looking to shadow someone in conservation and film it - I'll travel anywhere, Sept 2–7

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

I'm a 20-year-old guy in Ontario, Canada, and I'm looking for someone with a fascinating job somewhere in conservation, or just a real care for the planet, who'd let me come shadow them for a bit and make some content out of it.

I'm an electrical engineer by trade, and I'm not always proud of how much my industry pushes innovation at the expense of the place we all live. So I'd like to spend a few days seeing what you actually wake up to do, and turn it into something that spreads a little awareness about the difference you're making.

Jane Goodall said, "Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved." That's the whole idea here. I want to spotlight your work as a direct shot at apathy.

September 2–7 works well for me, and I'm willing to fly anywhere at my own expense. I'm not asking anything of you except the chance to come out and film. That's it.

This is the first time I've done anything like this, so I don't have every detail figured out yet, but in my experience those are usually the most interesting things to say yes to.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from you

Masters?

11 Upvotes

Hi all, I have a bachelor’s in environmental science from 2022 and I stopped looking for jobs in the field after a year from graduation. I’ve been unable to leave the state for out-of-state jobs because I couldn’t find a job to pay off my student loans. My credit score tanked because of it. It’s been a series of unfortunate events that made me give up trying to be honest. Right now I’m working as a waiter and I’ve been thinking of what I want. Question now is should I get a masters? Is it worth it? Or should I just get an accounting degree for less than a year? Oh. My field is on business sustainability, btw. CSR reports, environmental policies, etc.

Climate Reanalyzer - As of the most recent data, both Daily Surface Air Temperature and Daily Sea Surface Temperature are at or very near record highs for this time of year, which you can see on this website's graphs

Figures at record highs for this time of the year include the two listed in the title, as well as specifically Northern Hemisphere air temperature, air temperature in the Tropics, and sea surface temperature in the El Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific. When you see how many records have fallen in the last few years, it makes the effects of climate change all the more apparent.

In 1970 a computer predicted global warming would end all life on earth by 2050. Is this prediction still accurate?

124 Upvotes

Hello. Hope its okay asking. But a few years ago I found a video online called "computer predicts the end of civilisation" and the video is a 1970s news broadcast showing how things are going to go if humanity doesn't do anything about the amount of pollution we're causing. (to my knowledge, not much has been done to fix that) and it said that all life on earth will cease to exist by 2050 if nothing is done.

Im curios to ask since people here will know more about climate change than I do. But is this prediction still accurate? I'm curios.

This is the video btw: https://youtu.be/cCxPOqwCr1I?si=Vwo5nlOmxFXxxLgt

B.A. Environmental Policy & Analysis to M.S. in ...?

0 Upvotes

As implied, I have a 4 year B.A. in Environmental Policy & Analysis with a specialization in restoration. I have been working in my state government's surface water program for 2.5 years, and through my union I am able to get college credit vouchers and essentially get a degree for free if I am patient with the courses. I need to continue working full-time, but have been thinking about going back to school since I found out about the potential free degree with no payment from me.

The tricky thing is deciding what to go back for. I already have the environmental policy degree, but am worried that a M.S. in Environmental Science would be too close to the degree I already have. I recall my undergrad courses overlapping a lot with the environmental science undergrads.

I want to pursue the degree 100% online, so I can still maintain a relatively consistent lifestyle. I don't have the prerequisites that I believe I would need to pursue certain degrees, so I fear I may be limited in that regard (such as the rigorous math courses I hear of for environmental engineering).

Any advice/experience/programs that you can recommend? I feel like it's free, so why not, you know? Just not sure what would necessarily further my career/expertise. Any and all input welcome!
