Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett



Notice Board



Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


And that leaves us in a place where small changes can produce huge differences in the energy economy by the end of the decade—even a slight drop in China's economic growth, for example, could cut coal use by an amount similar to what Europe currently consumes.

Amidst the flux, governments are struggling to set policies that either meet our needs or reflect the changing reality.

By 2030, the IEA expects that we'll have the capacity to manufacture more than double the solar panels needed to meet current policy goals.

The report highlights how its 2021 version, completed before the passage of the US's Inflation Reduction Act, had predicted 12 percent of the cars sold in the US would be electric by 2030.

As a result, this year will see an average of a billion dollars invested in solar power every day, and a half-Terawatt of renewable capacity added overall.

All of this change means that the IEA expects fossil fuel use (the combined coal, oil, and gas) to peak before the decade is over.
