She’ll be 23 years of age in a little over two months so she’s stopped growing and she’s only 4 feet 10 1/2 inches tall. She’s against something called Climate Change which most people think of as “The Weather”. The phenomonon of Climate Change is directly related to the population. Living requires energy which requires producng electricity from coal or oil and using gas and diesel fuel to drive motor vehicles. Those activities produce heat by burning coal and oil which were formed by the energy of sunlight. The population of the world is reaching a maximum and using energy has been successfully managed so the pollution, CO2 has reached 430 PPM which is less than half of the amount that can be noticed. Remember that we exhale CO2 by breathing. All animals do so more peole and more animals mean more CO2. CO2 from cars has been rendered infinitesimly small by the catalytic convertor which captures CO2 in the exhaust and the exhaust has been made almost CO2 free by the design of the engines. In addition healthy trees need CO2 to produce oxygen which is essential for human life.
Carbon dioxide gas is involved in the production of refrigeration systems, welding systems, water treatment processes (to stabilize the pH of water) and carbonated beverages. It is also used in the metals industry to enhance the hardness of casting molds and as a soldering agent. Carbon dioxide is found in various fire extinguishers and prevents oxygen from further fueling a fire. Carbon dioxide-based fire extinguishers effectively manage electrical fires and those caused by solvents, fuels and oils.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical ApplicationsCarbon dioxide gas is used to make urea (used as a fertilizer and in automobile systems and medicine), methanol, inorganic and organic carbonates, polyurethanes and sodium salicylate. Carbon dioxide is combined with epoxides to create plastics and polymers. It is used for water treatment; to keep food cool (as dry ice); and to cool, pressurize and purge equipment.
Electronic Applications
Carbon dioxide gas is used in the electronics industry for circuit board assembly, to clean surfaces and in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
Oil Industry
Carbon dioxide gas is used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). EOR is a class of techniques for increasing the quantity of extracted crude oil from oil fields. Carbon dioxide is injected under high pressure into an oil reservoir, which pushes the oil through pipes and up to the surface of the ground. Carbon dioxide gas injection aids oil recovery and reduces the viscosity of recovered oil.
