Global Warming: An Engineering Perspective

01 June 2018, 15:30 - 16:30

This is a past event

Global warming has been characterized as THE challenge of the 21^st century, yet individual perspectives vary:

Global warming is not happening
Global warming is happening, but humans are not responsible
Global warming is caused by humans, but the impacts are negligible or beneficial
Global warming is caused by humans, the impacts are detrimental, but there is nothing we can do about it
Global warming is caused by humans, the impacts are detrimental, and we must act

This presentation will review the evidence for human-caused global warming and propose technical solutions that can address it.
