Conférence "Global Warming-Challenges in Energy and Environmental Sustainability" par le Pr. Ashok Pandey
Ashok PANDEY, chercheur au sein du "Centre for Innovation and Translational Research" et du "Centre for Energy and Environmental Sustainability" à Lucknow (Inde), et invité dans le cadre de l'action ACV du thème Énergies du futur du CIR ITPS, donnera ce jeudi 23 mai 2024 à 16h30 une conférence afin de présenter ses activités de recherche.
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere. This term is not interchangeable with the term "climate change." Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are estimated to have increased Earth’s global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), a number that is currently increasing by more than 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. The current warming trend is unequivocally the result of human activity since the 1950s and is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over millennia.
There have been serious negative impacts caused by global warming on human life and worst impacted are the poor countries. There are extremes in weather conditions with increasing intensities of warm and cold weather as also hurricanes and intense rains.
The lecture will discuss various aspects of global warming and climate change.
