Question

lawmakers discuss methods of preventing pollutants that could directly start a positive feedback loop in the area shown in the picture. which of these actions should they take? a. regulate the number of jets flying in the upper troposphere. b. increase funding for coal and natural gas technology. c. pass laws to help decrease soil erosion and fertilizer runoff.

Explanation:

Pollutants from jet - fuel in the upper troposphere can have significant environmental impacts and potentially start positive feedback loops. Regulating jets can reduce such pollutants. Increasing funding for coal and natural gas technology would likely increase pollution. Decreasing soil erosion and fertilizer runoff is more related to land - based pollution rather than atmospheric pollution that could start a positive feedback loop in the atmosphere shown in the picture.

Answer:

A. Regulate the number of jets flying in the upper troposphere.
