Is a Green Future
Possible?

35. Almost all our energy is Solar Energy
Guy Dauncey 2013

36. The Sun sends us solar energy
The trees capture the energy
through photosynthesis
and convert it into CARBON
In
Almost all energy is Solar Energy

37. When ancient
forests died,
they stored the
carbon
as
COAL
In
Almost all energy is Solar Energy
Guy Dauncey 2013

41. When we burn the
COAL
it releases the
ancient carbon
and causes
GLOBAL
WARMING
In
Almost all energy is Solar Energy

42. The Sun also sends solar energy
into the ocean
Almost all energy is Solar Energy
Guy Dauncey 2013

43. It is captured by ocean plankton,
who store it as CARBON
Almost all energy is Solar Energy
Guy Dauncey 2013

44. When they die,
the ancient carbon
becomes
OIL and GAS
Almost all energy is Solar Energy
Guy Dauncey 2013

45. Most of our energy comes from:
COAL, OIL and GAS
Ancient solar energy = ancient carbon
Guy Dauncey 2013

47. Oil is also a cause of war and conflict
Guy Dauncey 2013

48. They are all FOSSIL FUELS
They all cause Global Warming
Guy Dauncey 2013

49. The cars we drive all cause global warming
Guy Dauncey 2013

50. Every day, we burn
this ancient carbon energy
12.5 million tonnes of coal
10 million tonnes of oil
7.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas
Guy Dauncey 2013

51. This gives us lots of ……
POWER!

52. 85% of all this energy comes from fossil fuels

55. Earth has a very thin atmosphere
which traps and holds the sun’s heat,
using CO2, methane, & water vapour.

100 million tonnes a day

As we burn the fossil fuels…

103. At the current predicted temperature rise,
33%
of the Earth will be affected
by extreme drought by 2100

107. At the current predicted temperature rise,
Up to 20%
of the world’s economy could be lost
That’s like the Great Depression
and both World Wars combined

108. Wake up! Call the media! Get on TV!
Climate change is destroying our world!

182. Earth’s total known fossil energy reserves
are equivalent to 47 days of solar energy
reaching the Earth’s deserts
Solar One, Nevada, 64 MW

186. Geothermal Energy: 13% growth pa
2-12 cents kWh
39 countries could get 100% power
= 17% of the world’s people
