Document Summary
Women in fields, be a scientist and technologies. Lead us academy of science usgs and controversial topics installing wind energy earthquake prediction controversy geo engineering. Aerosol take off warming but nature and animals and people are seeing health decline climate is changing/ impacts environment which cascades to ecosystem, people and economy. Climate response options: climate mitigation, climate adaptation and climate intervention- carbon capture. Depend on human actions, follow lower path requires aggressive motivation. Adaptation and carbon capture or albedo modification might be required if found ourselves on upper trajectory keep climate temp low. Other developing nations increasing their emissions, economic development. Invest in energy projects not c02 emitting china and india gone up. Paris path may be optimistic requires substantial mitigation and adaption. California lost a lot of water no one measures water lost. Carbon dioxide removal and reliable sequestration- many approaches with different changes and limitations - act slowly, some difficult to scale up, present risks to ecosystems.
