While climate change is a global challenge, modest actions can drive significant impact. An Oxford team is applying concepts like snowball effects and tipping points to human systems, seeking "sensitive intervention points" to accelerate the transition to a post-carbon world.

Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of Environmental Economics at Oxford's Smith School, leads this research. A Rhodes Scholar with diverse academic and professional experience, he has published widely and advises governments and international institutions on energy and environmental policy. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Achieving a 100% clean energy economy in the U.S. presents challenges, including modernizing the grid, addressing power storage, and electrifying transportation.

Russell Gold's new book, "Superpower: One Man's Quest to Transform American Energy," explores wind power's history as a potential roadmap for renewable success. It delves into the transition from fossil fuels and how to finance our clean energy future.

Join Lynn Doan (Bloomberg News), Russell Gold (The Wall Street Journal), and Jigar Shah ("The Energy Gang") for a conversation on redesigning the U.S. energy landscape.

Author David Wallace-Wells warns that coral reefs may not survive another generation, potentially facing total extinction by 2050 without significant policy changes. He highlights that humanity is already experiencing a mass extinction event. The World Wildlife Fund reports a 60% decline in vertebrate mammals since 1970, while insect populations may have plummeted by 75% in recent decades.

Our oceans currently absorb much of the atmospheric emissions, preventing even higher global temperatures. However, they remain highly vulnerable to pollution and other impacts. Wallace-Wells, author of "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" (https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), emphasizes the critical state of these vital ecosystems.

Yolanda Medrano, a third-year UC Merced student, proposes installing energy-producing floor panels in high-traffic areas like library entrances. These panels would generate power from walking, specifically to operate doors, enhancing building efficiency.

This innovative, albeit costly, investment would make UC Merced the first university to adopt such technology. It promises to produce clean energy and significantly reduce the campus's overall energy footprint, aligning with the University’s triple zero commitment.
