Global Warming and Climate Change
11
Global Warming
refers to an increase in the
earth’s average temperature
Climate Change
describes ALL changes to
our climate, including global warming
Climate Change is the BIG picture.
Global warming is part of climate change and a main contributor

Climate Change - the human factor
13
https://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes.html
Build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere is akin to overflowing the bathtub!
Human activities release over 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year

Climate Change - five devastating facts
14
Sea levels rise as ice caps
melt
Plants, animals become
extinct
Severe storms get stronger
(Hurricane Katrina $
$Billions)
Global temperatures rise -
ice caps melt, disease increases
Agriculture is severely threatened
Climate Change is
GLOBAL
It effects:-
Economies
People
Species

One fine day in Bangladesh
Increase in sea levels and
Bangladesh will see more of this!
The USA is NOT off the hook!
First citizens relocated due to Climate
Change - Louisiana, Alaska
Sea levels increase by 1.5 Metres
If all ice melted sea levels increase by 70
Metres!

Climate Change - already impacts agriculture
17
Texas - 2012 $3.2 Billion of main crops were lost due to drought.
Nearly 50% of the annual state Ag revenue (AgriLife)
Florida - 2010 $100 Million of crops were lost – 2 week freeze.
(Florida Trend)
USA - Heat stress costs the dairy and beef industry $1Billion p.a
India – 1970 – Cyclone – 2 Million cattle lost

Increasing amounts of high-quality horticultural and arable land
flooded at least once every 3 years”

70% potable water used in Agriculture
50% potable water is wasted
2050 - 10-13 Trillion cubic liters of potable water

IoT - multitudes of applications!
IoT enables us to cost effectively monitor and optimize water, energy, weather
and the environment at fine granularity that was never possible before!
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time the condition of
any ENVIRONMENTAL locale wihin cities and rural landscapes.
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time WATER health,
distribution and consumption in every aspect of society.
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time ENERGY
production, distribution and consumption in every aspect of society.

• Smart Meters:
• Domestic demand management
• Consumer control of energy management and use
• Smart Grid:
• Saves generating capacity and optimizes control of load
• Annual savings of ~$2Bn for UK Plc alone, $100Bn worldwide
We MUST make our energy SMART in order to optimize our energy usage and
reduce waste and climate emissions

telecoms infrastructure
LPWANs have been specifically designed to bridge
the IoT “connectivity gap”.
These enable multitudes of sensors to be deployed
COST and ENERGY efficiently.
This enables a plethora of business propositions
