Some stabilization wedges include increased transport efficiency, biofuels and solar electricity 🤓 @phys273 #Lesson12 #Impacts

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Remember that the stabilization triangle refers to the amount of carbon needed to be saved to avoid doubling our CO2 emissions. @phys273 #Lesson12 #ClimatePredictions

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

In terms of mitigation for transport we should try to switch our normal fuel to low-carbon fuels like hydrogen fuel, electricity ☝🏼 @phys273 #Lesson12

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

It is was interesting to get an overview of the effects of pollution on extinction, fishing, crops, health, rural and urban areas, economy and social impacts. @phys273 #Lesson12 #Impacts

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Remember there’s a strong linear relationship between CO2 emissions and projected temperature changes to year 2100. @phys273 #Lesson12 #ClimateChanges

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

The question I am asking myself... I hope it will open people’s eyes. @phys273 #Lesson12 #Impacts https://t.co/5kodHS9sbk

The only crop type that would benefit from climate changes is the soy. Prepare yourself to eat a lot of tofu if we don’t take any actions for climate change. #Lesson11 #ClimateChange #WarmingEarth @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

The carbon cycle is a complex interaction of how carbon moves around different Earth’s systems. @phys273 #Lesson11 #CO2

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

The greenhouse effect on Earth is not as important has the one on Venus. For Venus there’s an increase of 445 degrees Celsius compared to 33 for the Earth. @phys273 #Lesson11 #WarmingEarth 🌎

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Take home message from lesson 11: YES the Earth is warming (climate change does exist @realDonaldTrump) let’s all make some small changes to diminish it. #Lesson11 #ClimateChange @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Definitely!!!! @phys273 #Lesson12

Here’s an interesting articles on the 9 biggest oil spills: https://t.co/mTkFWVVcBD do you remember hearing about the BP’s one ? @phys273 #Lesson10 #Pollution

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Remember... The major source of CO and NO is transportation, Su and VOCs are ore and mineral industries. #Lesson10 #AirPollutants @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

One thing I will remember from this course is: how fossil fuels have a huge impact on our environment and pollution... I hope actions will be taken to reduce their usage. @phys273 #Pollution

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Quick reminder: Primary pollutants are from human sources, whereas secondary pollutants are from chemical reactions of primary pollutants. @phys273 #Lesson10 #Pollution

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Heat loss through convection, conduction and radiation. #Lesson9 #EnergyConservation @phys273

[Sab @GreeleySabryna]

here's a good picture to recap where all the heat lost in the house is... #lesson9

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

Good tip ! 🤔 @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

See my last tweet for a quick definition of each ! #Lesson9 #Heating @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

How many of you have their refrigerator close to heat sources ? I guess many of you. When I will have my own house I will think about not putting it close to heat sources, like ovens, dishwasher and direct sunlight. #Lesson9 #Appliances @phys273

[Victoria Lessard @VLessard]

What type of space heating systems do you have at home ? 🔥 #Lesson9 #Heating @phys273
