@sharkaru Interesting to see that biomass can be used for electricity, heat and fuel, it is a very polivalent ressource #RenewableEnergy

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

The saddest part about climate change for me is the exctinctions of species, I feel like we are loosing something very important and precious. #Lesson12 #Impacts

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

@Deenosaurr15 @jessiserio Actually the Nissan Leaf is electric! So even better!

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

@Deenosaurr15 @jessiserio On the other hand hybrid cars are not too expensive, for example the Nissan Leaf is aroun 35000$ dollars, and they are a decent alternative.

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

True, the best way to save energy would then be to unplug the devices when they are not in use. #Lesson12 #Sustainability #Mitigation https://t.co/inSHkyCbNz

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

True, but we must be careful as where we sink the ship so we don't harm the already present ecosystem. #ProtectTheCorals https://t.co/rPoid4xXr5

[Justine Beaudoin-Poulin @beaudoin_poulin]

Did you know that artificially sinking ships is actually a method of promoting underwater ecosystems since corals and other aquatic organisms are attracted to these underwater structures. #ProtectTheCorals #Impacts

Fiji islands are threatened by extreme weathers due to climate change. These extreme weathers are predicted to increase the sea level which could cover these islands as well as many other areas and large cities! #Lesson12 #ClimatePredictions #ClimateModels

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

@LabergeBrooks Sadly, this could be the case for most islands and coastal cities in a few year, very scary stuff

The oceans have absorbed approximately one third of human-produced CO2 emissions making them important storage reservoir for carbon.#climatechange

I was suprised to learn that nuclear energy is relatively safe relative to the other non-renewable energy sources, probably because the accidents that can happen are more spectacular and dramatic than the deaths related to the other energy sources. #Lesson8 #NuclearAccident

#lesson5 #Suncor #Greenpeace Interesting to see the extraction process of oil at suncor https://t.co/aq6yMYTv2M even though it can lead to environmental problems as green peace showed :https://t.co/LcW0n0vuNP

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

Suncor's way of extracting oil seems better than more polluting means of extracting oil, but as Greenpeace pointed out, it can still be very damaging for the environment. #Lesson5 #Suncor #Greenpeace

#HydraulicFracturing

[Nadezhda Angelova @nad_angelova]

a practice that started in the 1960s should be no longer supported giving the facts of a climate change and yet politicians think more of how to make profits rather than protecting the environment and future generations. No wonder there are no comments on #Suncor youtube video

#Lesson3 about entropy and the heat death of the Universe made me think of an awesome short story by Isaac Asimov called "The Last Question", definetly worth a read!: https://t.co/Rc1jnNUSa1

#Lesson1 I've never quite understood how social media works but I've heard memes are all the rage right now so lets start there

[Nadezhda Angelova @nad_angelova]

According to the second law of thermodynamics, particles will constantly want to expand to achieve an equilibrium status.#Entropy

Here are some examples of #EnergyTransfer.

[luckall @turc_at]

According to hydro quebec, the estimation of the electrical cost of my home is 1480$ with about 21670 kWh per year. The appliance which consumes the most is probably the fridge, which consumes 445kW/year.

[Édouard Gagné @ed_gag]

@turc_at Interesting, your house uses the same amount of energy as mine, but it costs you almost half what it costs me! Maybe it is more expensive based on which type of residence it is?
