Scientists at the Global Footprint Network calculate the energycomponent of our ecological footprint by estimating the amountof ecologically productive land and sea required to absorb thecarbon released from fossil fuel combustion. This translates into4.9 ha of the average American’s 7.2-ha ecological footprint.Another way to think about our footprint, however, is to estimatehow much land would be needed to grow biomass with anenergy content equal to that of the fossil fuel we burn.Assume that you are an average American who burns about6.3 metric tons of oil-equivalent in fossil fuels each year andthat average terrestrial net primary productivity (p. 32) can beexpressedas 0.0037 metric tons/ha/year. Calculate how manyhectares of land it would take to supply our fuel use by presentdayphotosynthetic production. Compare the energy component of your ecological footprintcalculated in this way with the 4.9 ha calculated usingthe method of the Global Footprint Network. Explainwhy results from…

How does the combustion of fossil fuels influence our planet? Be sure to explain how the following are directly related to the combustion of fossil fuels: acid deposition, sea level rise, global climate change, greenhouse gasses and one other event of your choosing.
Background: One of the main drivers of climate change is the emissions of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. This has altered the global carbon cycle. using the link below to watch https://youtu.be/xk11DVaAjEA PROMPT: 1) What role does photosynthesis paly in the global carbon cycle? 2) What are fossil fuels and how are they altering the global carbon cycle? 3. Learn about carbon sequestration. Briefly explain what it is and how it can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Post a link an example of where/how this is being implemented.
