Opening windows in naturally ventilated buildings is accepted behaviour on warm days.
I am very clear that we are at a Rubicon for human life, we are rapidly changing the environment and damaging the eco-system.The geological record demonstrates that changes of this magnitude in the past have been catastrophic, particularly for the earth’s dominant species.
While contemplating this I remembered a quote from Jurassic Park “Life will find a way!”; and although the dominant species on earth have been lost a number of times in the past, others better adapted to the new conditions, survive and flourish.The rise of the dinosaurs came after volcanic eruptions led to conditions which wiped out 95% of the species on earth with a global temperature rise of about 7. o. C. The strike of a meteor led to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and the rise of mammals.A rise of 3-5. o.
C may be enough to see the end of hominids, us..I feel my own responsibility for the situation.
I have consumed, benefitted from cheap energy, travelled on business and for pleasure to far flung places.
My lifetime carbon footprint will be in the top 25% of the world population despite my efforts now to minimise it.The conversation touches upon the sector-wide hurdles for emerging energy technologies, including public perception, regulatory frameworks, and market integration, illustrating the complex environment in which innovative solutions like those at Aalo Atomics must operate.. 5.
