Document Summary

Lecture 6 energy use (fossil fuels, co2 emissions, global climate. We don(cid:495)t (cid:498)consume(cid:499) energy it is always converted: ends up as waste heat. Energy consumption is increasing and has always been increasing developed countries. Developed country: the rate at which energy is used looks like it is flat. Will continue to go up and rate of increase will increase. How energy is being converted into product/wealth. Gdp is the most important factor in determining total energy usage (rather than population: countries like usa and canada closer together. Spikes in energy peaks of energy intensity not always in same time period. Need infrastructure to make the products that produce the wealth. Energy use is going up but energy intensity is going down (gdp $ going up = total energy use in the world is going up too) Animals die in a place where they get covered by oxygen.
