The impact of cosmic radiation is not always as trivial as determining who wins a Super Mario game, or as positive in its outcome. The culprit, again, was most likely cosmic radiation. When they strike the Earth’s atmosphere they create a secondary shower of particles, including neutrons, muons, pions and alpha particles.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. The danger is that the Antarctic sea ice is starting to behave like the Arctic, with sustained loss of ocean cover and consequent absorption of solar radiation.

The Altiplano plateau in western Bolivia has some of the world’s highest and most consistent levels of solar radiation, creating a high potential for solar photovoltaic power in the region, but structural challenges may prevent scaling.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible.

Satellites, for example, are used in meteorology to track weather systems and to monitor atmospheric fronts to predict what the weather will do next. Known as ENSO, they are opposite effects of the same process and are defined as an oscillation (a variation in magnitude) between the temperature of the atmosphere and the ocean.

Air emissions : Any gas emitted into the atmosphere from industrial or commercial activity. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : A group of inert chemical used in many industrial and everyday processes such as our refrigerators that are not broken down at lower atmospheric levels and rise to the upper levels, destroying ozone.

Despite promising adaptation strategies, sea level rise is projected to drown tens of thousands of acres of farmland within the century. Atlantic sea levels are rising three to four times faster than the global ocean average. Crop damage radiates inward gradually from the edges of a field, where the salt hits first.
