In class today we did the following:
1. Dr H talked a bit about the annual
United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 19 that ended last week in
Warsaw, Poland. There were a few clicker questions about it so
students could learn some interesting things that went on (see
first few slide in the presentation below). [NOTE: Today's
Clicker Day point is an "extra" for those who were in attendance.
There will be 2 more Clicker Days for students striving to earn
the 20 pts needed for a "perfect" Participation Point grade.]
Here is a video of the eloquent and moving speech from
the COP 19 conference that Dr H mentioned in class.
It's given by Naderev Saño, the delegate from the typhoon-ravaged Phillippines.
(17 minutes long, but worth listening to!)
2. Dr H then continued by going over where we've been with Topic #15 in Parts A, B, and C of this topic. Then a review of the Indicators of a Warming World was given (see pp 93-94 in Class Notes) and Part D on Evidence from Modeling was presented.:
Topic #15
- Global Warming & Anthropogenic Forcing - Parts D Evidence from
Modeling
3. Lastly we watched about 30 minutes of "The Next Frontier Engineering the Golden Age of Green" (from Solar Energy through the sections on Carbon Capture and Efficiency of the Grid)
