Energy and the Environment: A Global perspective Reza Toossi, CSULB 1Copyrights (c) 2008

Issues Big questions How much longer petroleum will last? What are geopolitical concerns? What are economical effects? What are the environmental impacts? Where are we going from here? 2Copyrights (c) 2008

Concerns Useful energy is being more scarce. Population increases at an exponential rate. Industrializations demands more and more energy. Environmental problems becomes more severe with increases in energy consumption. Limited resources can impact social, cultural, and economical aspects of our lives. Global impacts could even be more serious. 3Copyrights (c) 2008

Why Petroleum? Oil delivers more than 15 times the energy of an equal mass of dynamite, 700 times that of a bullet, and 100 times energy of laptop batteries One gallon of oil does as much work as 20 workers work 10 hours a day for an entire year It is the main ingredient for a variety of consumers products, including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, clothing, pesticides, lubricant, solvents, and …. It is CHEAP!!!!

1995 UN Report International Panel on Climate Change consisted of 2000 scientists reported: “Unless there is a reduction in greenhouse emission, the Earth’s average temperature will increase by 2-6.5 o F and the sea level will rise by 6 to 38 inches by the year 2100” 27Copyrights (c) 2008
28
Ozone Depletion One chlorine or bromine molecule can destroy 100,000 ozone molecules, causing ozone to disappear much faster than nature can replace it. 28Copyrights (c) 2008
29
Acid Rain Only a few marine species can survive when pH is smaller than 5. Health effects include respiratory complications, reduced immunity to infection, reduced visibility, and corrosion. Regional conflicts (US, Canada, Europe) 29Copyrights (c) 2008

Indoor Air Pollution Average person stays 90% of his time indoors Energy conservancy projects have exacerbated this problem Common sources of indoor air pollution are: Cigarette and tobacco smoke Paints, lead and other construction material Stoves, refrigerators and other appliances cleaners and chemicals Pesticides Soil Drinking Water 30Copyrights (c) 2008
