+ Finite Fossil Fuel = The Same Actions

16. <It’s the delivery
stupid!>

17. quot;Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand.quot;

21. Climate Change Act Targets
• 1990 baseline of CO2 emissions was
approximately 590 million tons of CO2.
• An 80% reduction is based on the minimum
reductions necessary to avoid causing
catastrophic and permanent changes to the
climate
• 80% of 590m tons = 118 million tonnes.
• The UK level of CO2 emissions (1.76
tonnes/capita cf. ~10 tonnes today) hasn’t been
that low since…… when?
