While the main focus has been on operational activities in Antarctica, global warming caused by fossil-fuel burning by these (and other) countries has left Antarctica on the brink of irreversible change. In the ocean, 19 marine heatwaves have been recorded between 2002 and 2018. The world’s largest ever heatwave (38.5C

The recent announcements from ‘Make Sunsets’ that they are selling ‘cooling credits’ based on an untested and unverified form of solar geoengineering has generated condemnation from all sides. Procrastination and co-option by commercial interests set on resisting a phase-out of fossil fuels has flourished (see for example here ).

It is vital to prospecting for and mining of fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, and crude oil that we convert to fuel our homes, public transportation, and personal vehicles. Most scientists, stuck with the models of Newtonian Physics, calculated how long it would take for the Earth to cool to current temperatures.

Today, it overlaps with many other sciences and has had a profound impact on the environmental sciences just as chemistry has. It also underpins the physical sciences by providing the theoretical framework on which it may base its own assumptions and basic theoretical models. How Physics Applies to Environmental Science.

First, underwater – in the sediments on the bottom of swamps, lakes, and the ocean. CO 2 is at about 410 parts per million by volume (ppm) in the air, about 50% higher than before the start of large-scale fossil-fuel use. And second, in the guts of animals – termites, cows and other ruminants, and us. Atmospheric concentrations.
