Managing Climate Change and Global Energy Demand

An Energy IQ overview of Climate Change. We look at natural cycles, how human activities affect Earth’s climate, and some of the things we are doing — and can do — to decrease greenhouse gas emissions while meeting the increasing global demand for energy.

The content in the video is helpful, but there is a mistake that the map of China is not correct.

I'm sorry but you've really got the map of India wrong. China does not legally possess parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

If you are looking for a way to help the environment you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

Where can I find a list of what every person can do to help eg. Unplug chargers + everything not in use & especially with a clock (usually not right time) is drawing energy even $10/yr x 7billion= & a small simple thing matters

Electric power is great, but let’s not forget that is has to be made. Electricity is generated by the following methods; nuclear power plants, hydro power plants, coal fired power plants, oil fired power plants and natural gas fired power plants. All these methods are safe clean dependable and plentiful. Without them electricity, electric cars, electric stoves, microwaves, televisions, radio stations, TV stations would not work they just wouldn’t be there for us. Wind and solar may sound good on the surface but they are extremely expensive and unreliable, they are not there 100% of the time power is needed. So let’s stop fooling ourselves. One might say well let’s make batteries to store electricity. That is also very expensive and once the batteries are depleted they are worthless until they are charged once again. So again let’s stop fooling ourselves. For the past 250 years we figured out how to move forward raising the living standards of millions across the globe and suddenly we decide we’re doing it wrong and must turn backwards. How stupid is that. Again electricity has to be made, the other forms of energy that make electricity are plentiful throughout the world. It’s just common sense.

I don’t like how we are being misled to thing we are replacing COAL=not. And that lower emmissions gas is an improvement when it takes 2 to 3 tomreplace ONE coal plant - this is how we got in this mess in first place!
