TRANSCRIPT
Climate change: What can we do?
And who cares anyway?
Machines have replaced manual labor
Technology Racing Ahead
200 years of carbon emissions
We will not reduce energy use in construction!
Two solutions to the problem
We can (probably) tough it out
HumansHomo Genus
But maybe not…
Death and Destruction
The Apollo Missions – 11 years, 17 flights
• Apollo Guidance Computer– .00004 GHz clock speed– 4 KB RAM
• 5x IBM 365/75– .01 GHz clock speed– 8 MB RAM
• Apple iPhone 6s– 1.8 GHz clock speed– 2 GB RAM
Speed: 180xMemory: 250x
The Apollo Missions – 11 years, 17 flights
• iPhone is 32,500 times faster and has 250,000 times more memory than the Apollo guidance computer
• iPhone is 36 times faster and has 25 times more memory than all 5 IBM 360/75 computers combined
When will we spend 150 billion
USD again?
US Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
cost 3 trillion USD!
Do we need 150 billion USD to change this graph?
Commercial solar cell efficiency today 15-22%
We’ll need to store energy
Thank you for your attention
