3.2 Transistion to Sustainable Sources

After this lesson you will know:

- About the traditional energy sources and the carbon footprint it has caused.

- What unsustainable and sustainable sources are and why transition is necessary.

- How to interpret and use a cross-section applied to fossil fuels.

Climate Change can be seen in:

1. the tree line that moves uphill
2. glaciers growing
3. ocean temperature rising
4. humidity increasing

What is not a consequence of global warming:

1. permafrost is thawing
2. extreme weather
3. navigability of rivers is increasing
4. agricultural yields is falling

Complete the sentence:
The _________ is fortunately not too high when it comes to the climate.

1. chance
2. greenhouse effect
3. peak discharge
4. tipping point

• Explain all the terms.
• Think of solutions.

Traditional Energy Sources

Terms to discuss:

• fossil fuels
• non-renewable sources
• conventional oil and gas
• shale gas
• fracking
• tar sand
• nuclear energy

From traditional to sustainable energy sources

• energy consumption per capita
• carbon emission per capita
• energy transition
• renewable energy sources
