I like the idea of creating a poll! 💡

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

I don't think the majority of people does, but it is definitely a good idea to start doing so!

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Adaptation and mitigation can help us deal with climate change! #lesson12

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

It's scary to learn that climate change is projected to increase displacement of people, especially of those in poorer countries that cannot afford to move to another country😟 #lesson12

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

It is sad that a large percentage of species faces increased extinction risk due to climate change during and beyond the 21st century! 🐼 We need to do something about climate change! #lesson12

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

It was found that there is a strong, consistent as well as almost linear relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions and projected global temperature change to the year 2100 📈🌡️#lesson12

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Did you know that the volcanic eruption of Mr. Pinatubo that happened in the Philippines, in 1991, was an opportunity for a natural experiment?🤓 #lesson12

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

It is important to note that there are observed effects of climate change on 3 specific systems: physical systems, biological systems & human systems! #lesson11

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

That's when we realize that humans harm our planet.. 🌍#lesson11

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850.. So people that say that climate change isn't real are clearly wrong!!😪 #lesson11 #climatechange

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Did you know that over the last two decades, the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets have been losing mass? #lesson11

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

It's scary to learn that the current temperature is the highest it’s been in approx. 1000 years and that the CO2 levels are constantly increasing as well😟 #lesson11 #climatechange

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Such a good thought! I hope so because climate change should be taken very seriously #lesson11

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Did you know that each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850? It is kinda shocking! 🥵 #lesson11

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Interesting! 🤓 #lecture9

[Jane Nakouzi @JaneNakouzi]

Electric Resistance Heating is 100% Efficient from meter­ to­ heater but we need to take into account how the electricity is generated which is only about 35% efficient through fossil fuels #Lesson9

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Totally agree with you👌#lesson9

[Jane Nakouzi @JaneNakouzi]

Now every-time I close my fridge I think of how it has an Energy Star Certification #Energyconservation does anyone else also think of that ?

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

That's why we have to use up the whole tank right away. haha I'm kidding! 😂 #lesson9

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Yes! In contrary to what we could think.. #lesson9

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Good catch!!👌 #lesson8

[Luciana @Luciana67290013]

We can use a formula we already saw before (E = mc^2) to find out exactly how much energy is produced during fission. #Lesson8

[Taly Gakh @TGakh]

Learning so many new words and concepts in this class! 🤓 #lesson8

[Luciana @Luciana67290013]

The most common fuel used for nuclear fission is uranium, by we can also use plutonium and thorium, which I never heard about. #Lesson8
