Slide 11: 

Earth Health? OR Earth Hype? Although people don’t all agree and take interest, it's possible that we are too late to reverse the course we are on. A course that may have catastrophic consequences. If we wait to convert those who disagree we will definitely doom future generations to a calamity not of their making.

Slide 24: 

Two studies showed the total number of hurricanes has not changed However, the intensity of hurricanes has increased (more category 4 and 5 hurricanes and cyclones) Probably due to higher sea surface temperatures (more energy)

Effect on Humans : 

Effect on Humans Fewer deaths from cold, more from heat Sea current changes leading to affect on sea food resources Droughts , Hurricanes Migration s due to food shortages Disease pattern changes

Drought . Deforestation. Climate Instability : 

Drought . Deforestation. Climate Instability Severe Rainfall Deficiency in Australia Australia produces over 1.4 million tonnes of rice a year and exports rice to over 70 countries but over the last few months rice production has declined to an all time high. Australia is a Major exporter of wheat to the global market but drought has caused lower production leading to higher prices. Drought In Thailand Over 60,000 acres of farmland have been hit by drought In Thailand the world’s largest exporter of rice causing export restriction leading to rice shortage and high prices In the global Market.

Declining Rainfall in Africa : 

Declining Rainfall in Africa Drought in Sierra Leone, Senegal, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Ghana, Kenya, Chad and other African Countries has marked decline in crop production such as Soya beans, cassava, Maize and Sorghum.. Anarchy Looms

Solutions… : 

Solutions… Conservation Reduce energy needs Recycling Alternate energy sources Nuclear Wind Geothermal Hydroelectric Solar Fusion?

Storage of CO2 in Geological Formations : 

Storage of CO2 in Geological Formations Depleted oil and gas reservoirs CO2 in enhanced oil and gas recovery Deep saline formations – (a) offshore (b) onshore CO2 in enhanced coal bed methane recovery Adapted from IPCC SRCCS Figure TS-7 3a 2 3b 1 4
