made this for my phys273 class but this polar bear is pretty cute, no?

In #Lesson12, one of the stabilization wedges mentioned was CCS — carbon capture and storage/sequestration.

How: CO2 is captured from large sources (factories, biomass power plants) and deposited into underground storages

Aim: reduce atmospheric CO2

#Lesson11 we’ve basically messed up the planet and we’re facing the effects of climate change, which are so complex and interrelate we don’t even understand them fully or know to the true extent of how we are affected as a human race at large

@kat_rich96 thanks for letting me know, even if it was too late 😂

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

So apparently #EarthHour was from 8:30-9:30pm in MTL tonight. But, I didn’t know about it until 10:30pm🤦🏻‍♀️

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

Now that I have finished all the lessons, I can say that I really enjoyed #PHYS273 and I hope to use the knowledge and tools acquired in my life to make a lasting change in the future... For now, stay safe everyone 💕

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

@BechirAmina Yes and what’s worse imo is the fact that we’re not doing enough to slow it down now that we know 🙃

@jennciccarello Woooow that fast???

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

@JC40095776 @delaram_farzin I hate seeing things like this because they’re tragedies 💔

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

@delaram_farzin One of the only benefits of COVID-19 I suppose. It’s crazy how fast the environment can react and change from such a short period of time too. I heard Venice’s canals were clean and clear after decades of being murky.

#Lesson12 mitigation strategies are important moving forward. However, policies need to in place and there needs to be economic and political support on multiple scales (international, regional, national and sub-national)

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

It may take some time and it’s not perfect, but if we come together to fight climate change, we can make it happen!!!!!

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

Fun fact: Montreal Protocol has been called “the single most successful international agreement to date” by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

This was the agreement to collectively fight against ozone depletion in the 90s and now the ozone is healing!!!

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

#Lesson11 was not a fun one, but an inconvient truth (pun fully intended)

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

But, there’s still hope!!! It’s up to us to try to be better and make a change to reverse some of these effects of climate change!

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

Confession: I’m reeeeally glad we don’t have anymore of those student energy videos on YouTube 👀👀👀 Anyone else feel the same way?

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

@Jacquel35988990 Agreeeeeed I kinda miss the disscusions we had about nuclear energy and stuff 😪 Since then, I just hadn’t been the same!

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

😂😂😂

[maryummy_273 @ma_phys273]

@KennyBriard1 Completely agree, a lot of the catastrophes of our times are man-made :(
