....right?! Sadly I couldn't agree more

[Gadir غدير @gadirmusic]

Why is it that Canada has to wait till 2040 to decrease its fossil fuels consumption? I mean, what is it that takes 20 years to change..... do we even have that much time to fix things? #lesson4

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

The Percent of electricity generation 
in Canada is 15.6%, which is so low compared to France generating 72.3% #lesson8

An obvious -but maybe not so practiced- tip to save energy from lights is to turn them when you leave a room to save 
more energy. Another tip, is to use motion sensors for outdoor lights so they only turn on when needed 
#lesson9

in regards to the climate warming, it's very likely that heat waves will occur with a higher frequency and longer duration, and cold winter extremes will continue to occur. So just because it's cold, doesn't meant climate change isn't real. It's more real than ever! #lesson12

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Climate change is projected to increase displacement of people. Populations that lack the resources for planned migration experience higher exposure to extreme weather events, particularly in developing countries with
low income :( #lesson12

Nuclear fission produces energy through the splitting of which releases heat energy to produce electricity. The most commonly used fuel for nuclear fission is uranium.. the more you know! #lesson8

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Coal can cause massive amounts of water pollution. Water passing through mined areas can pick up contaminants ranging from loose soil to highly acidic mine tailings #lesson9

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Land based pipelines are easier to fix than infrastructure at sea.. so maybe take that into consideration when implementing them #lesson10

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

This is so interesting, this diagram really gives a good understanding of the noise... no wonder why their found in large empty fields.

Recommended distance of wind turbines from houses #Phys273

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@mohamedboumer11 And important to take note that these resources are only limited by the lifetime of the sun. The rate of use does not affect the lifetime of the source! #lesson4

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@mohamedboumer11 In highly developed countries the percent of fossil fuel consumption is decreasing; this does not mean that the total consumption is decreasing #lesson5

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@Joudy79174376 @JoeAugu10648847 Definitely not. Too much money in this

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Remember learning and understanding this diagram in secondary school, and believing I had the whole world figured out haha. Needed this refresher though! #lesson12

[Joudy @Joudy79174376]

The greenhouse effect: #Lesson12

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@mohamedboumer11 I always believed household appliances took up way more energy than that #lesson9

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@Roberto12862875 Yeah the fact he current temperature is the highest its been in 1000 years, we'd be ignorant to not take any responsibility for this #lesson11

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@Roberto12862875 right!? Followed by Nepal and Brazil producing 95% and 93% of their electricity on hydropower as well! #lesson7

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@Roberto12862875 That being said there is no way in which a nuclear reactor can explode like a nuclear weapon. #lesson8

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Saving one pound of coal represents more than we think!!!! #lesson9

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

@steph86299247 and over half is from direct fossil fuel :( #lesson9

[Lina Damoulianos @273Phys]

Feeling like the last couple of #phys273 lessons helped me see the brighter side of Covid-19...
