Cooling down the Earth using the BSC Approach

"Global Warming" is the increase in temperature of the planet"s atmosphere due to "more than allowable" emission of green house gases

The fumes of chemical compounds like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and water vapor do the job of capturing and holding the Sun"s infrared rays and making the temperature pointer go north. However, some entities have taken the responsibility of making Earth a "cooler place" to live in. "Ecological Organizations" are the outcome of such thought. These are engaged in either "carrying out" or "supporting" the research projects that aim at studying the global climatic changes. These groups look to explore and understand the way various physical, biological and chemical processes occurring in nature interact with the human systems. Subsequently, the findings are then utilized in somehow "bringing down" the intense, rapid and negative fluctuations taking place in surroundings.

Decreasing dependence on burning of fuels that aggravate the concentration of these gases is the most direct solution. This calls for investing in "farm based renewable energy" to present an effective substitute for "pollution causing fuels".

However, this path of taming "Global warming" issue is studded with hurdles. One of the most difficult areas to be tackled when one works in the direction of bringing global warming down is "convincing people" that the phenomenon is actually occurring. This is because of an upcoming school of thought that opposes this whole idea of "planet getting hot". As per the latter concept, no such temperature rise is occurring rather the place is getting colder. To overcome this and make people go with the former finding, the organization should keep a small portion of revenues aside for "creating awareness" among masses.

So, as soon as one heads into this domain of "controlling climatic change", the most immediately faced hurdle lies in the proof of the "existence" of the proposition itself. Further, several attempts that have failed in the past indicate that a greater understanding of Earth"s systems are needed. So, the factor of "uncertainty" and "unpredictability" as to whether the technique will work is always there.

R&D is required to create "green" alternatives for people. In other words, a constant run has to be there to offer more "eco-friendly" answers to problems. Some of these can be- developing fuel-efficient cars that emit less harmful gases.

Moving on, not only one has to act as watchdog to know "how much" funds are being directed towards R&D but also the "fruitfulness" of doing so must be known. This makes it necessary to deploy a monitoring tool for the whole act. By administering such a methodology, the user gets a device to "depend on" for providing a "computational" way to gauge the performance.

The perspectives that can be of use here are- R&D Perspective, Education and Outreach Perspective, Ecological Solutions" Assessment Perspective and Performance Evaluation Perspective. The KPIs under R&D Perspective can be- % Rise in R&D Share, Average Research Duration, Focus Scaling and Number of Research Projects Underway.

Education and Outreach Perspective can be evaluated using metrics such as- Number of journals published, number of grants/ fellowships provided, Media Coverage and Number of educational institutions roped in. Moving further, Ecological Solutions" Perspective can be assessed using parameters like- Average Success anticipation, Side Effects Index, Predictability Degree and Ineffectiveness Extent. Eventually, one can carry out the assessment of Performance of the whole task by using indicators such as- Cost: Benefit ratio, Number of projects handled successfully, Network Expansion ratio and Involvement Index.
