Global Warming and Climate Change
11
Global Warming refers to an increase in the earth’s average temperature
Climate Change describes ALL changes to
our climate, including global warming
Climate Change is the BIG picture. Global warming is part of climate change and a main contributor

Climate Change - effects our global society
12
Climate Change is a GLOBAL problem
Carbon Emissions on one side of the world affects other parts of our world

Climate Change - the human factor
13https://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes.html
Build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere is akin to overflowing the bathtub!
Human activities release over 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year

Climate Change - five devastating facts
14Sea levels rise as ice caps melt
Plants, animals become extinct
Severe storms get stronger (Hurricane Katrina $
$Billions)Global temperatures rise -
ice caps melt, disease increases
Agriculture is severely threatened
Climate Change is GLOBAL
It effects:- Economies
People Species

Bangladesh/USA - population displacement
15
One fine day in Bangladesh
Increase in sea levels and Bangladesh will see more of this!
The USA is NOT off the hook!First citizens relocated due to Climate
Change - Louisiana, Alaska
Sea levels increase by 1.5 Metres
If all ice melted sea levels increase by 70 Metres!

Climate Change - already impacts agriculture
17
Texas - 2012 $3.2 Billion of main crops were lost due to drought. Nearly 50% of the annual state Ag revenue (AgriLife)
Florida - 2010 $100 Million of crops were lost – 2 week freeze. (Florida Trend)
USA - Heat stress costs the dairy and beef industry $1Billion p.a India – 1970 – Cyclone – 2 Million cattle lost
UK Parliament report 2012 predicts that
Increasing amounts of high-quality horticultural and arable land flooded at least once every 3 years”

We need more food (and water)
18
3.8 Trillion cubic liters potable water used by humans p.a.
70% potable water used in Agriculture
50% potable water is wasted2050 - 10-13 Trillion cubic liters of potable water
needed to serve humanity and Agriculture consumption!
2050 - Food output must increase by 70% !!

Climate Change - who cares?Is this West versus East
issue?
US leading global action2013 - Climate Action Plan2015 - Clean Power Plan
The simple fact is that each one of us should care about Climate Change

Introduction to the “IoT” and planetary intelligence
iwceexpo.com/nif16 #IWCE2016
Common terms used for the IoT
Internet of EverythingInternet of Anywhere
Industrial Internet
Internet of Sensing
Internet of Consciousness
Machine to Machine
IoT and Climate Change– Start-up Denver 2016
The IoT - Next Giant Leap for Mankind
Billions of cheap sensors located across our planet “tweeting” tiny bits of information from the physical world
Digitized information used by Big Data and Apps to make intelligent decisions to make our lives better.
3rd Wave of Global innovation (source GE Report 2010)
50 Billion connected devices 2020 (source- Mckinsey)
$Trillions new global economy (M.I.T) Cisco etc.
IoT = Instrumentation (or digitizing) the physical world
IoT and Climate Change– Start-up Denver 2016
iwceexpo.com/nif16 #IWCE2016
Simply put the IoT is…
Short Range Wireless (100s
Sensor (in physical world)
Wireless Network Application
“tweeting” IoT Data
Long Range Wireless (5km +)
LPWANs
IoT Intelligence

IoT analogy from nature - Humans
2. Send data via body networks
Computing Intelligence 3. Store data and Process information 4. Make Decisions and Take Action
5. Actions Run, Walk, Cry, Speak, Sit, Write, Sleep, Read, Create, Eat, Pain, Joy, Sadness…….
1. Billions of sensory inputs
Hear, Touch, Taste, Smell, See
The Brain = Cloud Computing Intelligence

IoT - digitizing our planet eco-systems
1. IoT sensors & real world dataFrom “things”, “people”,
“animals”, “environment”, and “cities”
“Big Data” + “Artificial Intelligence”
3. Store data and Process 4. Create information 5. Make Decisions
2. Send IoT real world data via networks
“the IoT could create a balanced coexistence between human and planet eco-systems”.
6. Intelligent Action

IoT - multitudes of applications!
IoT enables us to cost effectively monitor and optimize water, energy, weather and the environment at fine granularity that was never possible before!
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time the condition of any ENVIRONMENTAL locale wihin cities and rural landscapes.
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time WATER health, distribution and consumption in every aspect of society.
IoT enables us to measure and optimize in real-time ENERGY production, distribution and consumption in every aspect of society.

IoT requires energy and economically responsible technologies
Introducing…….. LPWANs
Long range, low power, low cost wireless telecommunications that bridge
the “IoT Connectivity Gap”
Humanity will be going backwards if IoT uses technologies that are cost prohibitive or energy inefficient
