In this video series, Katherine Kligys explains the problem of climate change and how it has significant ecological consequences, including loss of habitat, biodiversity loss, and extreme weather events. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation contribute to rising Earth temperatures by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, especially CO2. Chemistry plays a critical role in providing solutions to this problem. Some solutions involve chemical reactions and an understanding of chemical compounds to remove them from the atmosphere. One such solution is releasing sulfur dioxide that can create particles reflecting sunlight back into space and reduce the effects of greenhouse gases.
