Light and Heat - The Greenhouse Effect: Video

I've created a video entitled Light and Heat - The Greenhouse Effect. 
It’s a pictorial explanation of the greenhouse effect. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, that absorb heat radiation, then re-emit it, serve as greenhouse gases. The notion of a one-way Carbon Arrow of carbon from fossil fuels in the earth to extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is set out. Additionally a Carbon Dioxide Bathtub is a good model for the accumulation of extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Please have a look!

This video expands on material I’ve previously posted here:

Light And Heat – The Greenhouse Effect and The CO2 Bathtub. 
This is the second in a series of videos that also includes:
         
            Our Invisible Energy and
            Fossil Fuels and Global Warming.

The EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme Has Been Voted Down

Summary .   The European Union instituted its Emissions Trading Scheme, using a cap and trade mechanism, in 2005.   Since that time, the Scheme has gone through periods in which the number of allowances was too high, resulting in excessively low values for their price.   In a vote on April 16, 2013 the European Parliament defeated a proposed measure continuing to allot allowances to the emissions sources among the EU’s member nations, largely for economic reasons.   If allotments are not revived, the ETS will cease operations.   This would terminate one of the first multinational efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.   The ETS exemplifies the administrative and political difficulties facing cap and trade regimes.   Valuing carbon emissions is better achieved with a carbon fee.   Introduction .   The original members of the European Union (EU) in 1997 acceded to the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty to limit emissions of c...

Two Former Senators Back Carbon Fee With Full Rebate

Trent Lott, a former Republican senator, and John Breaux, a former Democratic senator, support a universal national price, or fee, on fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and petroleum), in an op-ed published June 21, 2018      Their proposal is based on the recent plan put forward by conservatives formerly holding high positions in earlier administrations ( The Conservative Case For Carbon Dividends ; by James A. Baker, III; Martin Feldstein; Ted Halstead; N. Gregory Mankiw; Henry M. Paulson, Jr.; George P. Shultz; Thomas Stephenson; and Rob Walton; the “Baker-Shultz plan”).   Emissions . When we talk about emissions in the context of global warming, it is important to remember that “emissions” actually refers to “the rate of greenhouse gas emissions per year”.   As long as the rate of emissions is greater than zero, greenhouse gases continue to increase in the earth’s atmosphere.   The long-term global average temperature is directly related to the total a...

The history and story of a global community: World Communication Forum Association launches its first book

Image
I have always loved Science. Then, I discovered that Communication was another huge passion which my DNA was craving to develop, around the age of 15, when I started to promote parties and get involved in all sorts of events in my hometown. Then, with the strong support & stimulus of my beloved parents, I studied foreign languages, travelled abroad and followed my dream of studying Social Communication. Years later, I would be joining an amazing community of global communication professionals from all around the world at the World Communication Forum, held annually in Switzerland. Each year, we discuss the trends to come within the Communication & PR industry worldwide. Each year that passes by, we see those trends becoming reality. This is our story. For the first time, in 15 years involved in the scientific study & practice of Social Communication, I am a co-author of a book.What an honour! Spasibo! Thank you so much, dear @Yanina Dubeykovskaya and   Communi...
