This post summarizes the second half of Chapter 7 of the book ‘Climate Change for Astronomers’, involving a discussion of energy sources available to us in the present, and the future, in order to understand the way forward for solutions to climate change. It also discusses how various solutions can be combined, how energy usage can be made more efficient, and how we can move towards creating a smarter and greener energy infrastructure.
The history of the Earth and its climate are integral to our cosmic perspective, yet climate change is rarely taught in astronomy courses. Today’s bite discusses why and how it should be on the syllabus.
Climate change is bad (a sadly controversial statement), but we can solve it. Chapters 4-6 of Climate Change for Astronomers take us through why and how.
How exactly does the CO2 molecule cause the Earth to warm? Today’s authors explain with a physically motivated model molecule.
