It was reported that the improved ocean heat measurements have a rate of warming upwards from 4 to 5 Hiroshima bombs liberated heat per second or 388,800 per day. It was reported also that our climate has accumulated the equivalent of a total of more than 2.8 billion Hiroshima bombs’ worth of heat since 1998. Despite this global concern about the effect of global change on environment, it is believed that the problem is much more severe and with greater impact on all facets of life. The effect of Climate Change, especially with a 1℃increase in global temperature (from 14℃to 15℃) is equivalent to the heat liberated from explosion of about 300 million Hiroshima of atomic bomb. This is why this CoP 26 becomes more serious and had targeted year 2060 as a year of zero CO<sub>2</sub> emission. This paper discusses the impact of climate change on ten sectors;water, water desalination, energy, renewable energy supply, health, society, agriculture, economy, industry, and built environment.展开更多

The effects of heat-treatment temperature(HTT) on the CAM microstructure were systematically investigated by physical and chemical characterization. The electrical conductivity increased by up to 250 S/cm and mesopores with high electrolyte accessibility developed in the CAM with increasing HTT. However, the specific surface area(SSA) decreased for HTTs from 1000 to 1600 ℃. The results show that these two factors should be finely balanced for further applications in high power supercapacitors.The CAMs carbonized at 1000 ℃ had the highest SSA(1454 m^2/g), large mesoporous content(20%) and favorable conductivity(71 S/cm). They delivered a high energy density of 38.4 Wh/kg at a power density of 0.17 kW/kg. They retained an energy density of 25.5 Wh/kg even at a high power density of 10.2 kW/kg,and a good rate capability of 84% after 10,000 cycles. This performance is superior to, or at least comparable to, those of most reported carbon materials.展开更多
