Number Eight : Number Eight Ignoring the potential implications of climate change is taking a big risk with a valuable asset. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommends that we avoid “dangerous human interference” with global climate systems. Number Seven : Number Seven In order to avoid dangerous interference, IPCC estimates that we need to hold global emissions about steady. Number Six : Number Six Since the developing world would still like to develop, the developed world must make substantial emissions reductions. IPCC says 70-80 percent of current levels must be reduced by 2040-2050. Important Data : Important Data More Important Data : More Important Data Number Five : Number Five The Kyoto Protocol will result in only modest emission reductions The US has not yet ratified this treaty Number Four : Number Four We have 30-40 years to transform industrialized society Reducing emissions by 70-80 percent is a substantial challenge US Greenhouse Emissions : US Greenhouse Emissions US CO2 Emissions : US CO2 Emissions US Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions : US Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions Number Three : Number Three We already have technologies that can help us on the way Efficiency Renewable Energy Coal-gasification with carbon sequestration Number Two : Number Two The behavioral challenges are much more daunting than the technological ones. Number One : Number One Climate change isn’t likely to affect our generation. We need to make changes for subsequent generations. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
