CHEM 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Montreal Protocol, Ocean Heat Content, Joule
Document Summary
Week of october 10 october 15, and october 17. Global energy is used from sources of oil, coal, gas, nuclear, and renewable. Indicators of a warming earth include decreasing sea ice, glaciers, and snow cover. Other indicators are increasing sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, sea level, temperature over oceans, humidity, temperature over land, and air temperature near surface (troposphere). The global response was the kyoto protocol in 1997. Ghs reduction, the european union a 8% ghg reduction, japan a 6& Ghg reduction, but developing nations had no ghg reduction. The world"s e(cid:272)o(cid:374)o(cid:373)y was (cid:271)uilt o(cid:374) usi(cid:374)g fossil fuels. (cid:1005)9(cid:1010) (cid:374)atio(cid:374)s agreed something had to be done and came to the first universal climate agreement in paris of 2015. The goals were to limit temperature rise below 2 degrees c, publish greenhouse gas reduction targets, help poorer nations, and become carbon neutral by 2050-2100. Industrial revolution (1850s), the average co2 concentration was about 300 ppm.
