• Camera: take class picture
Energy as a field of Physics, Science
• Physics= The User’s Guide to the universe Quantitative
Observation-based• Observation disagrees with theory? Throw out the theory.• Physicists focus first on the essentials
(blowing off the details for now).• Physicists focus on context, the big picture.
Proper units help keep things in context.2010 BP oil spill:• Up to 4.9 million barrels of oil. Is that a lot?• 0.03 Quads vs 100Quads/yr US use.(Quad = quadrillion BTUs =1015 BTU =
1,000,000,000,000,000 BTU)• equivalent to 2.5hr of total US energy useImage: http://www.burdr.com/2010/05/deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-on-60-minutes/. Accessed 8/22/11.

Energy use vs Per capita GDP
“David Roland-Holst's chart,... based on World Bank and International Energy Agency data, the vertical axis plots per capita energy use in terajoules/year; the horizontal is per capita income as measured by the GDP. Bubble sizes represent population.” Accessed 8/11/2010.

Study questionWhich of the following statements is true?
a) Residential/Commercial, Industrial, and Transportation sectors in the US use approximately the same amount of energy per year.b) Most fossil fuel consumed in the US is imported.c) Most fuel consumed in the US is imported.d) The chief US energy export is natural gas.

Study questionsA study of carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere and global temperatures shows
a) A modest correlation between the two.b) A very strong correlation going back to about
1000AD.c) A very strong correlation going back about
160,000 years.d) A very strong correlation that breaks down over
the last hundred years or so.
Study questionsAn increase in CO2 in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution
a) Has not been observed yet.b) Has been claimed by some but the evidence
for an actual increase is controversial.c) Has been definitively observed to be smaller
than increases between the Ice Ages. d) Has pushed CO2 level in the atmosphere
above its previous values during or between the Ice Ages.
Study questionsHow many of the following statements about atmospheric methane levels are true?I. Methane is not a “greenhouse” gas.II. Changes in methane levels over the last 100 years are correlated to changes in CO2 levels.III. The data shows that methane levels have already contributed to global warming.
a) II onlyb) II and III onlyc) I and III onlyd) All of the above.
What have we learned?
• US 5% of the world’s population; 20% of energy use.
• US = 100Q, stable. World: 500Q & increasing.
• Cow toots (methane) and doots are evil.• Canada & Mexico are our main energy
suppliers. • Hubbert curve predicts future history • There may be syllabus quiz Friday!!
