To close out the semester I would like to say that this course has led me to reflect on the importance of harmony and the considerations necessary to attain symbiosis between people and the planet. Bien joué #phys273#Adaptation
once this latest crisis is over, little can be said to deny a priori knowledge upon which the scientific community has been warning us for generations #mitigation#SavePoorSaveHumanity#phys273
fascinating to see how quickly the earth is regenerating with the halt of human industry. Maybe people should be paid to not consume, not just for a virus' sake. #mitigation#phys273
Earth’s rain belts could be pushed northward as the Northern Hemisphere heats up faster than the Southern Hemisphere. stuff you should know #phys273#lesson12
if emissions remain on their present trajectory, the average temperature difference between the two hemispheres could be about 1.6°C, or about 3°F. This could affect everything from rice cultivation in India to the health of the Amazon Rainforest. #lesson12#impacts#phys273
the Ganges river in India is considered the most polluted river in the world and contains dirt, garbage, dead animals and humans. This is due to a shortage of fuel used to burn corpses on the river #lesson10#waterpollution#phys273
oil and gas use lots of water to extract? The mention was about using water as a transportation. I guess the physical exposure of water to contaminates is the focus here and not fracking methods. #phys273#lesson10#waterpollution
infants, elderly and people with respiratory illnesses are more sensitive to carbon monoxide poisoning, sound familiar? Probably because weaker bodies die more easily #airpollutants#lesson10#phys273
those hot water tanks use a lot of electricity, I wish I could turn it on and off easily, then I would turn it on 5-10 minutes before needing hot water #lesson9#phys273#heating
