GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE


地球規模の気候変動


How to Understand the Climate Crisis in 10 Easy Steps



1. Earth has a very thin atmosphere, which protects us from being

roasted by day and frozen by night.


30 kilometres



2. Two important “greenhouse gases” trap heat in the atmosphere

and keep us warm: water vapor and

carbon dioxide



3. When there is too little water vapor and carbon dioxide, Earth goes into an Ice Age.



When there is too much, Earth warms, ice melts, and sea levels rise.



4.

ICE AGES

4. Carbon dioxide (blue) and temperature (red) have tracked each other very closely over the last 700,000 years.



4.

5. The gasoline that fuels the world’s transportation comes from ancient fossil carbon.



6. The coal that generates much of the world’s electricity comes from ancient fossil carbon.


85% of all this energy comes from fossil fuelsGuy Dauncey 2007Guy Dauncey 2007www.earthfuture.com www.earthfuture.com


As we burn the fossil fuels…


7. When we burn fossil fuels, their ancient carbon escapes into the atmosphere



8. When we burn forests, their carbon escapes, entering the atmosphere.



When we destroy forests, their carbon also escapes, entering the atmosphere.


9. All this extra carbon is trapping too much heat, and causing

global warming.

If we don’t change,33% of the Earth will be affected

by extreme drought by 2100

California Wildfire, August 2015


British Columbia Forest FireJuly 2015

If global warming exceeds 1.6°C up to

31% of Earth’s species

will be committed to extinction,

having nowhere to go to escape the rising heat


Do you sometimes feel that it’s all getting

out of control?

SOLAR ENERGY

More solar energy reaches Earth in an hour than humans use in a year.

Solar energy travels at the speed of light 1,000 million kilometres an hour

Sun to Earth in 8 minutes 19 seconds

For 30,000 years, we harvested the Sun’s energy through firewood

For 300 years, we have been harvestingThe Sun’s energy through fossil fuels

It was fossil fuelsthat launched the Industrial Age,

and the modern world.

It is solar energy expressed through fossil fuels

that has made advanced engineering, solar PV and electric vehicles possible.


The Sun is rapidly settingon the Age of Fossil Fuels.
