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

Why is our Climate Changing?

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Land use change Bolivian rain forest Los Angeles Basin

Changes in the sun Volcanic eruptions

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)

Links: FAQ - why is the climate changing:

Technology Social

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

So we have the technology But here is the challenge…

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