Topic
Forest fires, warmer summers, storms and floods: global warming is compounding the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and causing disruptions costing us lives and resources. Reducing our atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to reducing the long-term rise in average global temperatures. Given the carbon intensive nature of our economy it is unlikely that we can reduce our emissions to zero—however, Net Zero promises methods and technologies that aim to balance the net amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are being emitted, versus that which is being absorbed back from the atmosphere. The United States has set the ambitious goal of reaching net zero emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050. During Husky Bites, Prof. Mukherjee and his longtime collaborator, Dr. Dylla, explore Net Zero implications for engineering practice.
Join us early at 5:45 p.m. for conversation and a weather update.
