Stratospheric ozone depletion – The stratospheric ozone layer in the atmosphere filters out ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The WAIS holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by around 3.3 meters , with even a partial loss of its ice being enough to change coastlines around the world dramatically. .

Diverse compounds are emitted by everything from motor vehicles to power plants, and include both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants – which are known to fuel global warming – as well as a host of volatile organic compounds that can lead to short- and long-term health problems in humans.

In interviews afterward, Shatner made a plea for the planet as TV hosts tried to steer him toward topics lighter than death and global warming. Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available,” Fred Hoyle, an English astronomer, wrote in 1948, “a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.”

Adding sulfate aerosols to the stratosphere would degrade the ozone layer (thereby increasing global cancer rates) and increase acid rain. It is part of a broader university effort to become a global leader in the climate and energy space. This has created a vacuum that University of Chicago leaders seem excited to fill.

Exxon completes an “Atmospheric CO2 Scoping Study,” which concludes that reducing fossil fuel use through efficiency and renewable energy is the only foreseeable option. And the company was monitoring all scientific research and policy activities, through a single collection point. One of them is called “Energy in Depth.”

As such, in 2022 81% of S&P 500 companies reported their own emissions (scope 1), and the emissions of the electricity they bought (scope 2). Although this level was not defined by the convention, the aim was to allow ecosystems and society to adapt naturally to climate change, which means slowing global warming down.
