The Earth is at a tipping point. Our planet’s temperature has risen 1 degree Celsius since the industrial age, and if we do not act soon, the world will face catastrophic consequences.
We cannot afford to
wait any longer. The majority of climate change deniers are those who
have been solely benefiting from the status quo — those with privilege,
those who have been benefiting from dirty energy sources. It is time for
us as a global community to come together and make a difference before
it is too late.
Alan Safahi:
The oceans are currently absorbing about one-quarter of the carbon
dioxide that human activities are emitting into the atmosphere. But as
oceans go deeper, they have a harder time being able to absorb any more
CO2.
One solution to save ourselves from climate change is to
plant trees deep underwater. This can help reduce atmospheric CO2 levels
and prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change, while still
leaving plenty of space for human life on land.
The idea is that
planting trees deep underwater will help absorb CO2 emissions and help
maintain our current energy system without requiring large alterations
in everyday life like giving up driving or eating meat.
Trees are
excellent carbon sinks and plant life, but they lack oxygen to grow at
an optimal level when submerged underwater for too long. However,
scientists have found a way to combat this by growing plants in flooded
greenhouses using hydroponics and nutrient solutions. This innovative
idea is sure to provide a sustainable solution to the devastating
effects of global warming.
How Planting Trees in the Ocean Will Improve the Environment
A
new way to improve the environment is through oceanic plantings. The
trees will be planted in the ocean, and this would help improve the
health of marine life. The plants will also be able to grow on salt
water, meaning that they could also be used for other bodies of water
where plants cannot grow well.
The plants will help improve the
environment because they will provide food sources for animals in the
oceans, as well as offer them shade. They are also expected to filter
pollutants from the water, meaning that it would be less polluted than
before these plants were introduced. This means that animals can now
live healthier lives without worrying about pollution coming from humans
or other sources.
The Plant Trees on the Ocean Floor Idea and What Challenges It Faces
The
idea of planting trees on the ocean floor as a way to combat climate
change has been around for decades. However, there are still plenty of
questions that need to be answered before this idea becomes a reality.
For example, what impact would the roots have on marine life? How could we protect these underwater forests from poaching?
The
world’s oceans are increasingly becoming more polluted, warmer, and
more acidic. These changes in the water could be disastrous to the
marine ecosystem.
Plants that grow underwater can help combat
these changes by absorbing carbon dioxide and helping to keep the pH
levels balanced.
Positive impacts of oceanic plantings
Oceanic
plantings are an important part of improving the quality of our oceans
because they provide habitat for marine life. They also provide oxygen
production through photosynthesis. Lastly, they are an important part to
improving water quality in the oceans by capturing pollutants in their
roots and leaves.
The physical oceanic planting of plants is the
practice of bringing terrestrial plants into the ocean by using boats,
kayaks, or other vessels. It may also refer to the planting of saltwater
tolerant plants on coastal land.
The practice is thought to date
back thousands of years to when Polynesian settlers moved from island
to island across the Pacific Ocean. The first documented evidence was
found in 1931 on Palmyra Atoll which was once inhabited by Polynesian
settlers. The H.M.S. Beagle made contact with inhabitants on the
uninhabited atoll who introduced Captain Fitzroy to a variety of palms
that they had planted there centuries before that were still thriving in
1839 when they stopped by again on their way home from South America.
Conclusion
The
Earth as we know it is at the precipice of a major change. The human
population has become so large and its demands on the environment so
unsustainable that we are now in danger of crossing a threshold and
triggering irreversible consequences for life on this planet: climate
change, ocean acidification, and mass extinction.
There are many
countries in the world which are at risk to climate change. If we do not
take any action in the near future, then these countries will have huge
problems in the future. We should start planting trees on the ocean
floor.
Planting trees on the ocean floor would help to save land
from disasters, while still leaving plenty of room for human life to
grow.
