What is the Glasgow Financial Alliance?
An umbrella group of the three net-zero groupings (Net Zero Asset Owners, Asset
Managers & Banking Alliance), meant to focus the entire financial sector on the
goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
What is Extinction Rebellion?
A climate-focused civil disobedience movement in the UK that sought to disrupt
society to highlight the crucial impact of climate change. Many of its targets were
banks perceived to not be moving quickly enough on climate change or
continuing to fund fossil fuels.
,What is Sustainable Finance?
Any kind of financial activity that takes sustainability into account, across asset
classes and across different products and services, ranging from corporate loans
to mutual funds with shares of sustainable firms, offered to retail investors.
What is the most important rule of the Earth's climate?
Energy Balance—The Energy reaching earth from the sun must be equal to the
energy the earth radiates back to space.
What is meant by greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases are a part of the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation.
These gases reduce the amount of power the Earth radiates to space, therefore a
planet with more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere must be warmer than one
without.
What Swedish scientist first recognized the possibility that as the mass of
greenhouse gases in our atmosphere increases, the atmosphere traps more heat,
leading to higher temperatures?
Svante Arrhenius in 1896. British engineer Guy Callendar provided more
supporting evidence for this possibility in 1938.
What are the 3 simple molecules contained in Earths atmosphere that do not
interact with infrared radiation & therefore generate no greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2) and Argon (Ar)
,What is the most important greenhouse gas? (Meaning it traps the most heat)
Water vapor, with carbon dioxide as the next largest contributor.
About what percentage of heat trapped by greenhouse gasses goes into heating
the oceans?
About 93%
What are the 2 key contributing factors to the rise in sea level?
The melting of ground ice & water expanding as it heats
T/F: The warming over the past century is around 16 times faster than the
average rate of warming coming out of the last ice age.
True
How can scientists use tree rings to extract climate information?
Because tree growth follows an annual cycle that is imprinted in the rings in their
trunks, scientists can measure the size of rings & estimate the local climate
around the tree for each year it was alive.
What is a Keeling Curve?
, The Keeling Curve, named after Charles D. Keeling, is a graph which plots the
ongoing change in concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere since
1957.
Scientists have observed that, for the last 50 years, the increase in carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere averages 44% of what humans released that year. What
happens to the other 56% of carbon dioxide released by humans?
About half is absorbed into the ocean, leading to ocean acidification & the other
half is absorbed by the land biosphere by enhanced growth.
Methane is an important greenhouse gas. While it's PPM increase in the
atmosphere is much smaller compared to carbon dioxide, it's a significantly more
powerful greenhouse gas on a per-molecule basis.
What is the per molecule ratio measured in kilograms of heat trapped between
methane & carbon monoxide?
1 kg of Methane = 28 kg of carbon dioxide
What is Global Warming Potential (GWP)?
The heat trapping power of GHGs relative to carbon dioxide.
What are the atmospheric lifetime & GWP of Nitrous Oxide?
121 years & 265 GWP
What are the atmospheric lifetime & GWP of halocarbons?
Years to Millenia & 100s to 1000s GWP
