15. Making a Difference One Watt at a Time

16. Introduction Is the world getting warmer?
If so, are the actions of mankind to blame for earth’s temperature increases?
What can/should be done about these issues?
In examining global warming, we will be looking at questions such as 
Is the world getting warmer? 
If so, are the actions of mankind to blame for earth’s temperature increases? 
What can or should be done about global warming? 
Are the potential resolutions to global warming worth the cost to implement them? 

17. Earth’s Temperature
Normally, the Sun’s heat and light hit the Earth and most is reflected back into space.

18. Earth’s Temperature Solar Energy Solar Energy Sun
The temperature of the earth is directly related to the energy input from the Sun.  Some of the Sun’s energy is reflected by clouds.  Other is reflected by ice. The remainder is absorbed by the earth. 

19. Earth’s Temperature
Heat being reflected back into space is called radiation cooling and keeps the Earth’s surface a constant temperature.

20. Earth’s Temperature Solar Energy Radiation Cooling Sun
 If amount of solar energy absorbed by the earth is equal to the amount radiated back into space, the earth remains at a constant temperature. 

21. Earth’s Temperature
If there is not enough radiation cooling of the Earth, then Earth’s surface gets too hot.

22. Solar Energy Earth’s Temperature Sun Radiation Cooling
 However, if the amount of solar energy is greater than the amount radiated, then the earth heats up. 

23. Earth’s Temperature
If there is too much radiation cooling, the Earth’s surface would get too cold.

24. Radiation Cooling Earth’s Temperature Sun Solar Energy
 If the amount of solar energy is less than the amount radiated, then the earth cools down. 

25. Earth’s Temperature
With the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, due to the burning of fossil fuels, there is not enough radiation cooling happening, causing the Earth’s surface temperature to rise.

26. Solar Energy Earth’s Temperature Sun Radiation Cooling
 However, if the amount of solar energy is greater than the amount radiated, then the earth heats up. 

27. Global Warming
This rise in Earth’s temperature is called global warming.
The carbon dioxide build up in the air is preventing the Sun’s heat from being reflected back out into space.
Instead, when the heat is reflected off of the surface of the Earth, it hits the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and is reflected back down toward the Earth again.

29. Global Warming: The Greenhouse Effect
In other, words, the heat from the Sun cannot escape the Earth’s atmosphere.
It is trapped, like a greenhouse traps heat to keep plants warm in the winter.
Therefore, this is called the Greenhouse Effect

30. Sun
Greenhouse Effect
To a certain degree, the earth acts like a greenhouse.  Energy from the Sun penetrates the glass of a greenhouse and warms the air and objects within the greenhouse. The same glass slows the heat from escaping, resulting in much higher temperatures within the greenhouse than outside it. 

31. Earth’s Atmospheric Gases: Not All are Greenhouse Gases
Nitrogen (N2)
Non- Greenhouse
Gases
99%
Oxygen (O2)
Water (H2O)
Greenhouse
Gases 1%
Likewise, the earth’s atmospheric gases affect the ability of the earth to radiate the Sun’s energy back into space.  Nitrogen and  Oxygen  make up 99% of the earth’s atmospheric gases  and are non-greenhouse gases.  Water,  Carbon Dioxide,  and Methane  make up 1% of the earth’s atmosphere,  but are greenhouse gases, since they cause the earth to retain heat. 
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)

32. These greenhouse gases last a long time…
The U.S. emits about 6.4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases annually, 25% of the world’s total.
6.4 billion metric tons CO2/yr
These greenhouse gases last a long time…
Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for approximately 100 years, methane lasts about 12 years. Other greenhouse gases last even longer.
Warming begets more warming…
As these gases continue to raise surface temperatures, they trigger the release of even greater quantities of carbon dioxide and methane that are currently trapped in frozen Arctic permafrost and tundra soils, further increasing temperatures.
A feedback mechanism ensues…
…potentially causing “runaway global warming”.

This will result in a likely doubling of carbon dioxide levels within 150 years, due to 
Increased coal usage 
And increased natural gas usage, 

37. 40 % Households are Big Contributors to Climate Change
Of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions come from households:
Vehicles
Home Heating
Electricity
40 %

38. So how can each of us slow global warming now?

39. Reduce our consumption of fossil fuels
Because greenhouse gas emissions are tied very closely to our energy consumption, using less fossil fuel based energy puts fewer greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
This will help slow global warming.

50% of electricity in the United States is produced from coal. (

44. We can make some simple substitutions
Replacing just 1 incandescent light bulb with 1 compact florescent bulb saves about 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year!
If every American household replaced just 5 high-use incandescent bulbs with compact florescent lights we'd collectively save more than $8 billion each year in energy costs and we would prevent the greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.

46. Blowing Up Your World
1. How many of you leave your bedroom light on when you are not in the room?
Turning off lights saves energy and money. The more energy used, the more rivers are dammed or more fossil fuel is burned, causing air pollution and increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 2 pts d

47. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you walked, bicycled or took public transportation to get to school today, instead of coming by private automobile?
Our reliance on cars that burn fossil fuels is one of the major causes of increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it is the primary cause of urban smog. 3 pts u

48. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you, when you drink a soft drink, throw the container into the garbage?
Throwing away containers of any kind wastes energy and resources and adds to our waste problem. Many towns are running out of landfill space. 3 pts d

49. Blowing Up Your World Blowing Up Your World
How many of you eat fresh vegetables instead of canned or frozen?
Fresh vegetables cook more quickly and are usually more nutritious than frozen or canned foods. Canned and frozen vegetables are often over-processed, contain additives, contribute to air pollution (transport and packaging) and add to our waste problem. 4 pts u

50. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you use a hairdryer or other energy-consuming convenience appliance, especially in the morning?
Hairdryers use a lot of energy. In the morning so much energy demand is put on our grids that power companies have to find other sources of energy just to meet the morning rush hour 2 pts d

51. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you, when you go to a store, get a bag for your purchases, even if you have only one or two small items to carry?
Making paper and plastic bags uses energy and resources. The bags add to our litter and waste problems, and plastic is not biodegradable. Recycling is not the best answer because collecting and recycling materials requires energy. Instead, carry a reusable cloth bag or a knapsack with you. 3 pts d

52. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you carry your lunch to school in a lunch box or reusable container?
Making paper and plastic bags uses energy and resources. 3 pts u

53. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you eat take-out or cafeteria food that is served in foam or plastic containers?
Polystyrene and other plastic containers are made from precious petrochemicals, do not decompose in landfills, and release toxic gases when they are burned in incinerators.
10 pts d

54. Blowing Up Your World
How many of you use handkerchiefs instead of tissues and use cloth towels instead of paper towels?
Paper comes from trees. The more of it we use, the more trees that are cut down 2 pts d

55. Blowing Up Your World
How many are changing incandescent bulbs for new compact fluorescent bulbs?
Changing one bulb could save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year!
