Climate change

There are four main learning goals in this unit:

The greenhouse effect, what it is and why some atmospheric gases cause it.
Global temperatures and climate patterns and the influence of greenhouse gases.
Combustion of fossilised organic matter and release of greenhouse gasses.
Acidification of the ocean caused by increased concentrations of disolved carbon dioxide.

Play with this, it's really really cool.

The massive machines removing carbon from Earth's atmosphereTo restrain global warming, we know we need to drastically reduce pollution. The very next step after that: using both natural and technological solutions to trap as much excess carbon dioxide from the air as possible. Enter Orca, the world's first large-scale direct air capture and storage plant, built in Iceland by the team at Climeworks, led by climate entrepreneur Jan Wurzbacher. This plant is capable of removing 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. With affordability and scalability in mind, Wurzbacher shares his vision for what comes after Orca, the future of carbon removal tech -- and why these innovations are crucial to stop climate change.
