@Alexand87517011 Completely agree

Did anyone else know that Human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide need to fall by 45% from 2010 levels by the year 2030 and reach net-zero around 2050 to limit climate change catastrophe. 😮 #lesson12 #climatepredictions

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

I definitely really enjoyed this class, all the info taught was really interesting! #phys273

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

If anyone has any lessons specifically they want to review we could post which ones and share notes! that way we can help each other study :))

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@JeremyLinardat1 I loved it!

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@stephforget9 I really enjoy learning all the course material, i've always been what I like to think environmentally friendly as I can, but I've learned so much more about the environment that's furthered my knowledge! I also really enjoyed the whole twitter thing 😉

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@JeremyLinardat1 I'll mostly be reviewing notes from the slides, but I also wish we could see all the past quiz questions instead of only the ones we got wrong :/ unless we can and I'm just missing something?

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@IqbalRaamish I completely agree!

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

I love that Nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases while generating electricity! 😄

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@IqbalRaamish well from what I can see the U.S in general is not very environmentally friendly

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

The US actually has no tidal power plants 😮 #lesson7 #tidalpower

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@IqbalRaamish That's a great concept as well!

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

y'all now every time i'm thinking about my life entropy always comes to mind.. #lesson3 #entropy

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@IqbalRaamish I know eh? I actually found it a really helpful visual :))

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

so many cool examples of entropy, loved learning about it! #lesson3 #entropy

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

Plant-rich diets reduce emissions and tend to be healthier, leading to lower rates of chronic disease, I've began to eat less meat and am fortunate enough to have my parents buy my meat local from the butcher right down the road form my house in ON!

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

I'm honestly not surprised that China has the worlds leading carbon emissions, making them the worlds leading polluters. They are then followed by the U.S #lesson12

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

Back in 2016, many world leaders adopted the United Nation’s 17 global goals and Sustainable Development Goals to help improve life all around the world and work to preserve the earth’s resources and fight climate change! A step in the right direction :) #sustainability #lesson12

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@CousineauTy It says that human activity is the main reason for CO2 increase.. changing how we work and not burning so many fossil fuels would be a start to slowing down the increase I'd imagine! #CO2

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

currently 8 million people (11% of the worlds population) is vulnerable to climate change impacts such as droughts, floods, extreme weather events and sea level rise.

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

In the Amazon only 1% of the trees species sequester 50% of the regions carbon #lesson11 #climatechange #carbon #CO2

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@GuarnaAndrew Yep, thinking the same thing!!

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@BilalIl58115253 ahh I love this!! #lesson9

[Emma-lynn MacKay-Ronacher @EmmaRonacher]

@Jacquel35988990 Not doing the readings either, knowing everything on the exam and quizzes will be taught in the video lesson! :)
