Ms. Linsley and the Team,
I recently calculated my carbon footprint and was amazed by the amount of Carbon Dioxide I produce each day. While reading your post concerning the studying the footprint left by researches, I initially thought that the impact would be relaitively small compared to a huge metropolis. Then a questoin came to mind and who better to ask than the people studying the human impact right now! Do the the same amounts of carbon dioxide emissions have a greater effect in the Polar regions than they do in other parts of the Earth? In other words, is more harm being done to the environment by flying a plane across Antarctica than across The United States?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question!
