Results in:• Decreased crop yields• Increased damage to building foundations caused by ground shrinkage• Decreased water resource quantity and quality• Increased risk of bush fires• Increased risks to human life, risk of infectious disease epidemics, and many other risks• Increased coastal erosion and damage to coastal buildings and infrastructure• Increased damage to coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves• Decreased agricultural and rangeland productivity in drought- and flood-proneregions• Decreased hydro-power potential in drought-prone regions• Increased flood and drought magnitude and damages in temperate and tropical Asia• Increased risks to human life and health• Increased property and infrastructure losses• Increased damage to coastal ecosystems

The solution:
Cut CO2 emisssions
Not a big step for mankind

What I do
I study why people do or don’t use
alternative energy
I use social science

People are sick of nothing being done
People feel vulnerable and isolated
Some people think the government is corrupt
Some people never say what they think
Some people wanted to talk “off the record”
Some people think no ones got the guts

Is it really that strange?

Why is this work important?
If we cant get it right when the economics is good is there hope?
Its no good developing technology if people don’t adopt it
