Are The Conferences Held Around The World For Saving Biodiversity Really Useful

Liberalism? Conservative? What do these really mean?

Wow...good job! Pretty much sums it up and yeah...prepare to be attacked with namecalling. I'm sure they are on their way!

Environmental science test help? please?

"Environmental science test help? please?"

Practice this mantra: "Would you like fries with that?"

Question 3
"How do scientists predict future trends in climate?"
They use computer models.

Question 4
"What economic method is often used to guide policy makers in making pollution regulations?"
... I am torn between these two:
cost-benefit analysis
determining point of diminishing returns

Question 5
"Which technology is used to deal with yard waste?"
waste-to-energy combustion
composting
landfill
... depending on the municipality, all three are performed. They probably want something like "composting".

Question 6
"What is a greenhouse gas?"
a gas that absorbs and re-releases heat radiated by the earth

Question 7
"Ozone found in the stratosphere is _helpful_ to human health, while ozone in the troposphere (where we live) is _harmful_ ."
helpful, harmful

Question 8
"Which of the following contributes to global warming?"
tropospheric ozone
greenhouse gases
ozone hole

All three actually. Ozone is a greenhouse gas, so "tropospheric ozone" contributes to localized heating. The [size of the] ozone hole is synonymous with ozone depletion, and ozone depletion delivers more energy to soil and water, where it must be converted to heat. They probably just want "greenhouse gases".
