“In this age of specialization, menwho thoroughly know one field are
often incompetent to discuss another.. . . You must not fool yourself--and
you are the easiest person to fool”
Richard Feynman, 1974
My comment:
We’ve become a country of self-proclaimed experts on everything.
A thought – passed on from Warren Hamilton

So What is Climate Change
![Page 6: Adapting to Climate change: Extreme Weather …...INTRODUCTIONS – part 1 • Lou Henefeld: classroom assistant, liaison to me/OLLI • Logistics: bathrooms, breaks, no open containers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc025b717d82a166a2125f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Weather: consists of the short-term (minutesto months) changes in the atmosphere.• temperature, humidity, precipitation,
cloudiness, brightness, visibility, wind, andatmospheric pressure, as in high and lowpressure.
• Climate: long-term averages of daily weather.• The statistics of weather

What determines Earth’s climate
• The Sun
• Orbital parameters aka Milankovitch
• Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)
![Page 11: Adapting to Climate change: Extreme Weather …...INTRODUCTIONS – part 1 • Lou Henefeld: classroom assistant, liaison to me/OLLI • Logistics: bathrooms, breaks, no open containers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc025b717d82a166a2125f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Thus it leaves it to Greenhouse Gases
And so we will explore this a little further

FOR THERE TO HAVE NO CLIMATE CHANGEEnergy in (Visible)
=Energy out (infrared)
• Relatively stable last 10,000 years• GHGs Now Changing our climate – but at an
unprecedented rate– Threatens our sustainability as DO other factors:
• Population• Sea level rise• Extreme weather• Resources (Energy, food)• Ocean acidification
![Page 16: Adapting to Climate change: Extreme Weather …...INTRODUCTIONS – part 1 • Lou Henefeld: classroom assistant, liaison to me/OLLI • Logistics: bathrooms, breaks, no open containers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc025b717d82a166a2125f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Let’s look at our atmosphere
–N2 = 78%–O2 = 21%–Ar = 0.93%
–CO2 = -.408%–H20 = variable–Other: CH4, CFCs, O3, etc.
![Page 17: Adapting to Climate change: Extreme Weather …...INTRODUCTIONS – part 1 • Lou Henefeld: classroom assistant, liaison to me/OLLI • Logistics: bathrooms, breaks, no open containers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc025b717d82a166a2125f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHGs)
– Water – H2O – the amount is a feedback oftemperature held in by the “blanket” of otherGHGs
– Carbon dioxide - CO2
– Methane - CH4
– Ozone - O3
– Nitrous oxide- N2O
– others

Gas laws
• Boyles Law, Charles Law, Gay-Lussac Law
BUT THIS IS THE RELATIONSHIP YOU NEED TO KNOW:
• IDEAL GAS LAW (COMBINED):
PV = nR T
http://chemistry.bd.psu.edu/jircitano/gases.html
For more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws
![Page 26: Adapting to Climate change: Extreme Weather …...INTRODUCTIONS – part 1 • Lou Henefeld: classroom assistant, liaison to me/OLLI • Logistics: bathrooms, breaks, no open containers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc025b717d82a166a2125f5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
T, P and V relationships with density
PV = nR T
• Temperature: INCREASES– V increases and thus
– Density decreases
• Pressure: INCREASES– V decreases and thus
– Density increase
• Volume: INCREASES– T decreases and thus
– Density Decreases
HOWEVER:
• Changes in thecomposition of mediumcan also cause density tochange

• Along with the Coriolis force/effect
– Latent heat

TAKE AWAY:
• IF YOU INCREASE THE AVERAGEATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATUREYOU INCREASE THE AMOUNT OFWATER VAPOR IT HOLDS
• IF YOU DO THAT YOU INCREASETHE AMOUNT OF ENERGY INTHE ATMOSPHERE

TO RE-EMPHASIZE: THE TAKE AWAY:
• IF YOU INCREASE THE AVERAGE ATMOSPHERICTEMPERATURE YOU INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WATERVAPOR IT HOLDS
• IF YOU INCREASE THE AMOUNT OFWATER VAPOR IN THEATMOSPHERE YOU INCREASE THEAMOUNT OF ENERGY IN THEATMOSPHERE
• The warmer the greater theincrease!

IF EARTH’S HEAT BUDGETCHANGES WE HAVE EITHER:
• COOLING or
• WARMING

The CO2 greenhouse gas effect is concentratedin the polar regions ! ! !
The large H2Ogreenhouse effectis controlled bytemperature –H2O saturation doubleswith every10°C Increase
As a result It isconcentrated inthe lower atmosphereof the tropics
CO2 and otherGreenhouse gasesare evenly distributedthroughout theatmosphere
Particularly in theArctic !
The Earth and its atmosphereThe most potent greenhouse gas is H2O - vapor

RESULTS:
• Greater warming at High Latitudes
• Reduction Arctic sea ice
• Melting glaciers
• Rising sea levels
• Average temperature increases
• Earlier springs / earlier snow melt
• Ocean acidification

How global warming stacks up
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gHUHoqBn-Y
• Published on Sep 15, 2016
• Skeptics of manmade climate change offer various naturalcauses to explain why the Earth has warmed 1.4 degreesFahrenheit since 1880. But can these account for theplanet’s rising temperature? Watch to see how muchdifferent factors, both natural and industrial, contribute toglobal warming, based on findings from NASA’s GoddardInstitute for Space Studies.

Frequency of occurrence (vertical axis) of local June-July-August temperature anomalies(relative to 1951-1980 mean) for Northern Hemisphere land in units of local standarddeviation (horizontal axis). Temperature anomalies in the period 1951-1980 match closely thenormal distribution ("bell curve", shown in green), which is used to define cold (blue), typical(white) and hot (red) seasons, each with probability 33.3%. The distribution of anomalies hasshifted to the right as a consequence of the global warming of the past three decades such thatcool summers now cover only half of one side of a six-sided die, white covers one side, redcovers four sides, and an extremely hot (red-brown) anomaly covers half of one side.Source: Hansen, J., Sato, M., and Ruedy, R., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 2012.
Loaded Climate Dice: global warming is increasing extreme weather events.
Extreme summer heat anomalies now cover about 10% of land area, up from 0.2%.
This is based on observations, not models.

So what do we do?
• NOTHING? AND ADAPT?
• CHANGE OUR WAYS AND MITIGATE
– COSTS NOW vs.
– COSTS LATER

• Adaptation to extreme weather events (todayand next 2 weeks)
• Mitigation: DIET and EXERCISE – weeks 4-8– Reduce our emissions GHGs
• decarbonize our electrical energy generation• Decarbonize our transportation sector
– Sequester some of what we’ve already emitted:BIOCHAR, OTHER
