In MSW, carbon鈥搉itrogen (C/N) ratio and metal content are very high, which are very much responsible for GHGs generation due to improper disposal methods such as incineration, landfilling. In actual practice, reduction of generated waste and mitigation of waste generated GHGs, recycling, and...
as the oceans increase in size, the amount of carbon that can absorb into it goes up. It then settles to the bottom where it is stored as rock, made into shells, etc. Furthermore, according to the principles of blackbody radiation, the hotter the Earth gets the heat it puts out...
