16. Tell a story (1 paragraph) about fossil fuels and the connection with climate change using the following chart.

18. Why is our Climate Changing?

19. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

20. Land use change Bolivian rain forest Los Angeles Basin

21. Changes in the sun Volcanic eruptions

22. Is there evidence that humans are responsible for the warming?  Radiative forcing (Energy Bookkeeping)  Patterns of climate change (Fingerprints)  Global climate models (Predict the past)

25. Technology Social

26. A Technology-Based Plan 1.Improve energy efficiency 2.Electrify transport 3.Electrify heating 4.Produce all electricity using renewables

27. So we have the technology But here is the challenge…

29. Carbon Emissions (Gigatons) Since 1850 1500 How much more can we safely emit? (2°C warming) Past Fossil Fuels Estimates Reserves 3000 500 At the current rate ~ 15 years
