The lecture comprises of 3 presentations, each focusing on different yet related topics.
The first presentation presented by Prof. Andrew C. Palmer, touch on the topic of capturing carbon emission and storing technology. The presentation started with facts, things about global warming supported with evidence and data. Later, it stated reasons as to why we have such high rate of carbon emission. The slideshow not only showed these. Prof. Palmer also talked about the concept of carbon capturing and storage. For example; store carbon dioxide into old and abandoned oilfields and reservoir, storing liquefied carbon dioxide into the ocean below depth 2750m. However, he also mentioned that all these ideas and concept have difficulties to achieve as they faced obstacles from critics or require further improvement of the technology. He ended the presentation with saying that carbon capture and storage is technically possible, only the will to do so.
The second presentation was presented by Dr Benjamin K. Sovacool. His presentation was the study of Science & Technology Studies (STS) to address energy and technological problems. He started on how to use the STS to analyze into today’s social thinking, how people from all over the world view technologies. Essentially, he summarized that STS looked at contingency, product of negotiations and compromise, decision not inevitable, social and political ordering, invisible and technology. He then moved on to 2 case studies, Renewable Power and electric vehicle.
The third presentation was conducted by Dr Rajasekhar Bala. Dr Bala talked about climate change. Reasons for difficulties in climate change were discussed such as problem is global, long term political issues. Factors that affected climate changes were also discussed and the available options that we can adopted were also discussed.
In conclusion, I have learnt more about global warming, what were the reasons that created the global warming, why does it happened and what are all the solutions we can implement so that we can prevent or reduce the effects of global warming.
