Shocking fact: "The Arctic Ocean can be ice free in summer by 2050" #phys273 #meltingice
Changes need to be made fast, to avoid this.

[Tans T @ttans05]

Predictions for the future: Global temperatures can increase by 1.1 to 6.4 degrees celsius between now and 2100. #phys273 #globalwarming

[Tans T @ttans05]

Acid rain contaminating our drinking water can damage the human brain in the long run #acidrain #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

On top of that 30 million acres of woodlands of forests are lost every year causing environmental and economic impacts. #deforestation #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

Apparently 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere because of deforestation. #phys273 #deforestation

[Tans T @ttans05]

Hotter climates can produce over-sweet wine that have a high alcohol content --> which is usually not preferred #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

Initial studies showed that climate warming could be beneficial for some wine growing regions, but excessive climate change can be disastrous to the wine maker. #phys273 #climatechange

[Tans T @ttans05]

Did you know that climate change also has an impact on wine? #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@KarinePhys273 I finally understood what the Energy star meant after this course lol #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@KarinePhys273 Exactly, but it's going to take a lot of work and time. #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@KarinePhys273 wow that is actually great! Maybe other countries can follow down this path as well! #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@KarinePhys273 I'm glad that Montreal has the Bixi system for people that don't have bikes #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@KarinePhys273 75%?? That is crazy #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@Arianne_PHYS273 @TA_Andrew_P273 @KarinePhys273 this still boggles my mind! #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@gen_phys273 shopping around for different types of energy lol! #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@sam_phys273 @amanda_melaram That's true lol ! #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@amanda_melaram it's the same in my family! probably should discuss about this #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@amanda_melaram It still amazes me that there are some people that don't believe in climate change #phys273 #climatechange

[Tans T @ttans05]

@amanda_melaram Very true, probably going to take a number of years before we see any #phys273

[Tans T @ttans05]

@m_daveys @amanda_melaram Got to check that video! Thanks! #phys273
