There is no doubt that human activity on Earth cause changes in the environment in which we live. Many of these environmental impacts are from the generation, handling and use of energy. The main reason for the existence of environmental impacts from the generation, handling and use of energy lies in the fact that the world consumption of primary energy from non-renewable sources (oil, coal, natural and nuclear gas) accounts for approximately 88% of full, leaving only 12% renewable sources. This heavy dependence on non-renewable energy sources has led, in addition to ongoing concern about the possibility of depletion of these sources, the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, which in 2013 was of 36.3 billion tonnes, approximately 3.9 times the amount issued in 1960 (9.3 billion tons). Regardless of the various solutions that may be adopted to eliminate or mitigate the causes of the greenhouse effect, the most important is undoubtedly the adoption of measures to contribute to the elimination or reduction of the consumption of fossil fuels in energy production, as well as its use more efficient in transport, industry, agriculture and urban areas (residential and commercial), given that the use and production of energy account for 57% of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity. In this sense, the implementation of a sustainable energy system is essential.
Summary Presentation for The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to ...Earth Policy Institute
The energy transition is here. As fossil fuel resources shrink, as air pollution worsens, and as concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, oil, and natural gas, a new world energy economy is emerging. The old economy, fueled largely by coal and oil, is being replaced with one powered by solar and wind energy.
Science Vale UK energy event keynote presentationScience Vale UK
In his keynote presentation at the Science Vale UK energy event on 25 May 2011, Professor Sir Christopher Llewellyn-Smith FRS (Oxford University) set the context. The world needs to develop new sources of energy, notably nuclear fusion and solar, as well as new ways of storing energy and using it efficiently. Research organisations and technology companies in Science Vale UK are at the leading edge of much of this work.

GREEN ENERGY’S ECONOMIC PROGRESS
Reducing carbon missions by 51% in 2030
-Environmental, social, and governance funds have more than tripled to reach $2 Trillion.
-Three new “Mean Green” board members are forcing Exxon to clean up its act.
-GM is betting big on batteries for electric vehicles with a new $2.3 billion plant in Ohio.
-Advances in electric vehicles and next-generation nuclear reactors are helping the US achieve its goal of reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.

This was a college level presentation where we were asked to present a solution for Global Warming. I had very mixed feelings on the assignment and the solution, but I bet that doesn't come across in my presentation. ;)

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. What is Energy Consumption? When an energy source is consumed it is not “used up”, rather it is converted to a more useful form. Remember: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Chemical Energy (Oil) Thermal Energy (Boiler) Mechanical Energy (Turbine) Electrical Energy (Generator)

40. What’s a Degree or So? “ The typical temperature difference for the whole world between an ice age and an interglacial interval is only 3 o to 6 o C. This should set the alarm bells ringing: A temperature change of only a few degrees can be serious business.” Carl Sagan, Billions & Billions , 1997.

Much more on climate change later in the semester
