Percent change in median CO2 by scenario relative to 2000. A Georgia Tech City and Regional Planning study on climate change concludes that “smart growth” combined with the use of hybrid vehicle technology could reduce cities’ carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions significantly by 2050.

Challenges include climate-change threats to human infrastructure and habitats; cyberwarfare by state and nonstate actors attacking energy sources and health care systems; and the global water crisis, which is compounded by the climate crisis. IEEE is one of several professional engineering societies that are affiliate partners.

SLCPs may account for an estimated 40% of global warming, increasing the impacts of climate change. Car and truck engines used to be the largest sources of anthropogenic black carbon emissions in California; the existing air quality policies will virtually eliminate black carbon emissions from on-road diesel engines within 10 years.

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid.

Many of today’s engineering students want to work on technologies that address public-interest challenges, IEEE Fellow Deborah Estrin says. EMBEDDED NETWORKING SENSORS Perhaps it’s no surprise that Estrin pursued a career in engineering and computer science. Her parents were pioneers in computer science and biomedical engineering.

The views received in response to the discussion paper will help the Department of Infrastructure and Transport to develop an implementation Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS), which will set out options to implement the new standards. The RIS will also include a benefit-cost analysis and will be formally released for public comment.

But in a year that has seen both a worsening recession and state budget crisis, residents’ support for urgent action on climate change has slipped and a partisan divide on the issue has widened. But in the current economic climate their support has dropped a notch. Mark Baldassare, president and CEO of PPIC.
