Talking Climate Change with Yash Negi

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of podcast I have talked about BioEnergy or Biomass Energy. 
Topics:

• Bioenergy and emissions reduction
•  Xiao Yang Zhang  research
• Competing with low oil prices 

Additional Info:
Lignocellulose is the most abundant biopolymer available on earth as waste biomass. Lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, namely, cellulases, hemicellulases, and ligninases, play a crucial role in converting lignocellulose into sugars and biofuels.  Lignocellulose concentration in agricultural plant residues (which are frequently used as bulking agents) typically composes of 50%–90% of total organic matter: grass and maize have a relative low concentration of lignocellulose and straw stover, wood, and tea waste a high concentration.

In this episode, I have talked about Radiative Forcing in climate change and its limitations.
Topics covered:

• Radiative Forcing
• Concept
• Effective Radiative Forcing
• Limitations
• Grouping Forcing Compounds by Common Properties
• Calculation of RF
• Continentality

Additional Info:
The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. It is a thermodynamic gradient stratification layer, marking the end of the troposphere. It lies, on average, at 17 kilometres (11 mi) above equatorial regions, and about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) over the polar regions.
Emission metrics such as Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Global Temperature change Potential (GTP) can be used to quantify and communicate the relative and absolute contribu-tions to climate change of emissions of different substances, and of emissions from regions/countries or sources/sectors. The metric that has been used in policies is the GWP, which integrates the RF of a substance over a chosen time horizon, relative to that of CO2. The GTP is the ratio of change in global mean surface temperature at a chosen point in time from the substance of interest relative to that from CO2.
Forcing and temperature response can also be attributed to sec-tors. From this perspective and with the GTP metric, a single year’s worth of current global emissions from the energy and industrial sec-tors have the largest contributions to global mean warming over the next approximately 50 to 100 years.

In this episode of the podcast, I have talked about Plant, animal, and bird life. Along with this, I have also talked about resources in Antarctica. This was the final part of Antarctica.

In this episode of the podcast, I have talked more about Antarctica. But here is the catch I talked about if you remember that it is gonna be the final part of Antarctica but there are so many things to share with you. So I decided that I will continue the Antarctica series with more interesting episodes lining up. Here are the things that I described in this podcast. 
I have talked about:

• Antarctica 
• Antarctica Climate 
• Wind Chill
• The Antarctic Divergence
• The Antarctic Convergence
• Krill

Additional Info:
 Antarctica, and particularly the South Pole, attracts much interest in astronomical and astrophysical studies as well as research on the interactions between the Sun and the upper atmosphere of Earth. The South Pole is a unique astronomical location (a station from which the Sun can be viewed continuously in summer) sitting at a high geomagnetic latitude with unequaled atmospheric clarity. It possesses a thick section of pure material (ice) that can be used as a cosmic particle detector. Automatic geophysical observatories on the high polar plateau now record information on the polar ionosphere and magnetosphere, providing data that are critical to an understanding of Earth’s response to solar activity.
The volume of South Polar ice must have fluctuated greatly at times since the birth of the ice sheets. Glacial erratics and glacially striated rocks on mountain summits now high above current ice-sheet levels testify to an overriding by ice at much higher levels. General lowering of levels caused some former glaciers flowing from the polar region through the Transantarctic Mountains to recede and nearly vanish, producing such spectacular “dry valleys” as the Wright, Taylor, and Victoria valleys near McMurdo Sound. 

"Recognizing that it is in the interest of all mankind that Antarctica shall continue forever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international discord; ...the establishment of a firm foundation for the continuation and development of such cooperation on the basis of freedom, of scientific investigation in Antarctica as applied during the IGY accords with the interest of science and the progress of all mankind."

In this episode of podcast I have talked about Antarctica. I have talked about its physical geography and its history and at last little bit about its facts.
Additional Info:
 Modern plate boundaries may be far different from ancient ones presumably marked by old fold belts. Ancient Antarctic mobile belts, such as are followed by today’s Transantarctic Mountains, terminate at continental margins abruptly, as if sliced off, and seemingly reappear in other lands across young ocean basins. Much research has been concentrated on attempting to match intercontinentally the detailed structure of opposed coasts, such as between Antarctica and Australia, in an effort to learn whether they had been actually connected before the latest cycle of crustal spreading from intervening mid-oceanic ridges. Similarities between ancient mobile belts now suggest to some geologists that Antarctica may even have been connected to southwestern North America more than 600 million years ago, in late Precambrian time. 
Surface temperature trends show significant warming across the Antarctic Peninsula and to a lesser extent West Antarctica since the early 1950s, with little change across the rest of the continent. The largest warming trends occur on the western and northern parts of the Antarctic Peninsula. There the Faraday/Vernadsky Station has experienced the largest statistically significant (<5% level) trend of +0.53° C per decade for the period 1951 -2006. The 100-year record from Orcadas on Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands, shows a warming of +0.20°C per decade. The western Peninsula warming has been largest during the winter, with winter temperatures at Faraday/Vernadsky increasing by +1.03°C per decade from 1950 - 2006. There is a high correlation during the winter between sea ice extent and surface temperatures, suggesting more sea ice during the 1950s - 1960s and reduction since then. This warming may reflect natural variability.

In this episode of the podcast, I have talked about companies going carbon neutral and the ways they are achieving it. 
Companies I have talked about is:

• Microsoft
• Google
• Apple

I will discuss non-IT companies as well in my future podcast for sure.
Additional Info:
Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company...
Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the company.
Scope 3:  All other indirect emissions(e.g. extraction and production of purchased materials; and use of products and services sold).
While the Greenhouse Gas Protocoladvises that Scope 1 and 2 emissions measurement and reporting is mandatory, Scope 3 is an optional reporting category and allows for broad and often subjective interpretation of what emissions a company is responsible for. More recently, a focus has been on climate risk inherent in corporate operations and business models leading to detailed guidance from the Carbon Standards Disclosure Board(the Climate Change Reporting Framework, 2012) and the mainstream Financial Stability Board (Task Force on Climate-­‐related Financial Disclosures, 2017). Both of these recommend corporations understand forward-­‐looking climate risk, which depending on the sector, would likely involve a full analysis of Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions, both in absolute terms and relative to peers. 
"Over the next 35 years, the nature of the energy market will change fundamentally. Annual investment in the sector is expected to grow to US$ 455 billion by 2030 and reach US$ 800 billion by 2050."
n May 2019, the States of Jersey Assembly voted to agree on P.27/2019, and declare that4: there exists a climate emergency likely to have profound effects in Jersey, and that in order to deal with this situation...Jersey should aim to be carbon-neutral by 2030, and the Council of Ministers is accordingly requested to draw up a plan to achieve this, for presentation to the States by the end of 2019.
