Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Thursday, 17 October 2013. A Beginners Guide to Climate Change. Source: Youtube - Dr. Rick Potts. The Industrial Revolution has its origins in 18. Century Britain and 19. Populations and economic production grew, more land was transformed for human activity and there was a rise of greenhouse gases –CH. And nitrous oxide (N. O) and in particular CO. Further to this, after World War II, hum...

Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Wednesday, 20 November 2013. A second Solar Radiation Management (SRM) option is to increase albedo through anthropogenically enhancing sulfate particle concentrations in the Earth’s stratosphere and troposphere. The conversion of SO2 into sub-micrometer sulfate particles by chemical and micro-physical processes has been observed in volcanic eruptions ( Crutzen, 2006. Or the robustness of...

Can We Fix It: Biomass and Biogas
http://fixingclimatechangegeog3057.blogspot.com/2014/01/biogas.html
Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Thursday, 2 January 2014. Thus let's have a closer look at the process . The biomass that is used in biogas production has a wide range - farm manures, crops, stage sludge and catering/food wastes can all be used as feedstock. The only requisite is that the foods have a high moisture content as this makes them more suitable for the AD process ( REA, 2013. The biogas process, as illustrate...

Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Monday, 13 January 2014. Most Promising for Tidal. The Delta Stream Turbine. This turbine device was developed by Tidal Energy Ltd based in the UK. The 1.2 MW turbine consists of three, three bladed, horizontal axis tidal turbines each with a 15m diameter, mounted on a triangular frame to produce a low centre of gravity for stability. Stingray Tidal Energy Converter. The Best Way Forward?

Can We Fix It: An Energy Crisis
http://fixingclimatechangegeog3057.blogspot.com/2013/10/an-energy-crisis.html
Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Tuesday, 22 October 2013. As my blog looks at environmental change and the need to find an alternative approach for humankind to receive the energy they need to sustain I thought a few of the issues from this week's news were very relevant in depicting how pressing this issue is. The Headlines this Week. Npower to raise energy prices by 10.4%'. This weeks news resonated with me and made m...

Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Tuesday, 7 January 2014. Learning from the Romans. Diagram of Geothermal Engineering. Geothermal energy has been exploited since the years as the discovery of naturally occurring hot springs and aquifers was made in the Roman times. Over the years the technology used to harness geothermal energy has developed and systems of up to 5km can now be engineered ( RA, 2013). The cost of drilling...

Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Sunday, 27 October 2013. The Taboo Topic of Geo-engineering. Up to now, attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have fell short of expectations. The significance of needing to put effective global governance systems in place is evidenced by the centrality of this issue at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009. As my previous post on Climate Change for Beginners. Oh how joyous one ...

Can We Fix It. A look into whether renewable energy or geo-engineering can be used to fix the climate change problem. Friday, 15 November 2013. Solar Radiation Management - Surface. Solar Radiation Management (SRM). Discussions about SRM have been going on since the 1960s however it was a largely ignored area of climate science, a topic considered taboo due to concerns that public discussions of SRM would lessen the incentives for political action (Kiehl, 2006). Surface based approaches of SRM aim to ref...
