The choices we make about the sources of the energy we use and the amount of energy we use affect the amount of greenhouse gases we send into the atmosphere each year. And those extra greenhouse gases are causing our planet to warm.
Energy Choices and Climate Change provides a new way to look at issues related to energy and climate change. In the scenarios within this module, you will be able to make decisions about the types and amount of energy used and see what effect your decisions have on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere. Your goal is to reduce the amount of warming greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere from fossil fuel emissions while keeping costs within reason.
Chaguo tunalofanya kuhusu vyanzo vya nishati tunazotumia na kiasi cha nishati tunatumia huathiri kiasi cha gesi za chafu tunazotuma katika anga kila mwaka. Na gesi hizo za ziada za chafu zinasababisha sayari yetu kuwa na joto. Uchaguzi wa Nishati na Mabadiliko ya Hali ya Hewa hutoa njia mpya ya kuangalia masuala yanayohusiana na nishati na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Katika hali katika moduli hii, utaweza kufanya maamuzi kuhusu aina na kiasi cha nishati kutumika na kuona nini athari maamuzi yako kuwa juu ya kiasi cha gesi chafu iliyotolewa katika anga. Lengo ni kupunguza kiasi cha gesi chafu ya joto iliyoongezwa kwenye anga kutoka kwa uzalishaji wa mafuta ya makaa ya mawe wakati wa kuweka gharama ndani ya sababu.
