Read the two questions. Question 1: Is change in atmospheric CO2 levels likely to impact marine life? Question 2: Should diesel and gasoline engines compliant with CO2 emission standards be banned? Use complete sentences to explain whether both questions can be answered by science or not. Be sure to explain why for each question. (4 points)

Explanation:

According to science council, Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. Science deals with observing phenomena, rigorous experimentation to verify hypothesis and making carefully considered inferences.

Science can answer both question 1 and question 2.

CO2 in the atmosphere dissolves in water bodies thereby raising the level of carbonic acid in water according to the reaction;

CO2(g) + H2O(l) ---> H2CO3(aq)

This raises the acidity of water and particularly affects organisms with calciferous shells. Science can be used to measure the pH of water bodies as well as the CO2 level in air in order to draw a reasonable inference using the both data.

Also diesel and  gasoline engines are a major source of CO2 in the atmosphere. This can be confirmed by measuring the level of CO2 in municipalities that experience heavy vehicular traffic.

Hence placing a ban on diesel and  gasoline engines will reduce the level of CO2 emission.
