Can Engineers Solve Global Warming?

350009090_5d2f6c534a_m.jpgEducators and activists often comment on how difficult it is to talk about the issue of global warming without overwhelming one’s audience. So it was good to see Saul Griffith’s presentation at ETech mounted online for all of us to share. Griffith is a MacArthur fellowship winner who works as an energy educator and a champion of innovative uses of wind power. According to Griffith, all we have to do is:

  • Calculate the temperature we want the planet to be.
  • Figure out how much carbon we can burn.
  • Find our individual carbon goal, and change our lives accordingly.

Well, I’m glad that’s all cleared up.
