Energy Lab Lunch Webinar – Hoping for a miracle is no strategy

AI Quick Summary

The time has come to accept that global climate politics has failed. After 26 COP meetings, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are rising faster than ever, and there is zero hope that current policies will lead to significant emission reductions during this decade. Thus, we are faced with a stark choice: either we are prepared to pull the emergency brake or face the consequences of catastrophic climate change. Luckily, pulling the emergency brake would not be difficult. SpeakerHenrik Nordborg has a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the ETHZ and spent ten years working in the private sector before joining the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil in 2010. He is in charge of the bachelor’s program “Renewable Energy and Environmental Technology” and has been giving public lectures on the climate crisis since 2013. His blog, with the title «Giving Our Children a Reason Not to Hate Us», can be found under www.nordborg.ch. RegistrationFor planning purposes, we ask you to register via Zoom.
