Introduction
To effectively mitigate the effects of global warming in my community, my team would be composed of three experts in different disciplines that are closely connected to the environment. In understanding that calls for green technology and greater investments in environmental solutions, I would take with me Prof. Hannington Brown, an expert in Atmospheric Research and Applied Meteorology, Dr. Kenneth Checkle, A Leed Professional and Engineer Mohammed Al Husami, a Civil and Environmental Engineer.
The first team
My first expert team Member, Prof. Brown will bring a lot of information on the changes that occur in the atmosphere. According to American Meteorological Society Atmospheric Research and Applied Meteorology is a discipline that seeks answers to a number of questions that directly affect our environment. By the application of some of the most complicated and high tech computes to collect and analyze both past and present data in the global atmospheric temperature trends, Prof.
Brown would bring in the much needed data to assess the present and past global warming trends to enable us carry out a comparative analysis and come up with vital statistics on the rate at which our globe is warming up. “They also are studying interactions among the atmosphere and the oceans, the polar ice caps, and the earth’s plants and animals; these studies are part of a growing field that is known as global change research or earth systems science” (American Meteorological Society).
In addition to the above, he will be instrumental in this team of experts in coming up with vital statistics on the rising levels of carbon dioxide and other trace gases that are as a result of human activities. The major sources of these gases and carbon dioxide can be detected and mitigation measures put in place. Finally, the availability and expertise in the handling of super fast computers that are able to analyze the complex simulations and vast quantities of data are within the grasp and knowledge of Atmospheric Research and Applied Meteorologists.
The second team
The second expert team member, Dr. Kenneth Checkle is a lead professional with 31 years in accepted environmental design and green building technology. “Leed technology credential attests to basic knowledge and skills in understanding and supporting green design, construction, and operations” (American Meteorological Society). After retrieving data from Prof. Brown, there is the obvious need to make sure that these data translate to better environmental management.
His approach to combat global warming would be based on his expertise to make use of the green technology in enhancing the capacity of institutions, governments, companies, car manufactures and other stake holders to make use of green technology in their productions. While Dr. Checkle’s contribution to the team will be in its advance stages, there is need to include him from the beginning and receive his expert views on how data can be translated to benefit the overall strategy in reducing the effect of global warming.
The third team
The third and last expert team member will be Engineer Mohammed Al Husami, a Civil and Environmental Engineer with over twenty years in identifying and designing practical solutions for environmental problems today and in the future. “Environmental engineers possess the scientific and technical knowledge to identify, design, build, and operate systems that make modern society possible in that in addition to being a field for doing, the environmental engineering field and environmental engineering education are multi-disciplinary” (CWRU).
Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe this team has all the necessary knowledge, expertise and experience to address the issue of global warming.
