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


https://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes.html


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!



Water precipitation is changing

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% !!

(Source: The Guardian)



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

Lets talk… Climate Change (15 mins)


Lets talk… The Internet of Things

Introduction to the “IoT” and planetary intelligence


Common terms used for the IoT

Internet of EverythingInternet of Anywhere

Industrial Internet

Internet of Sensing

Internet of Consciousness

Machine to Machine


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



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 Opportunities – Smart Energy

2929

29

• Smart Meters: • Domestic demand management • Consumer control of energy management and use

• Smart Grid: • Saves generating capacity and optimizes control of load • Annual savings of ~$2Bn for UK Plc alone, $100Bn worldwide

We MUST make our energy SMART in order to optimize our energy usage and reduce waste and climate emissions



IoT Opportunities – Smart Disaster Warnings

3030SMART Logistics – Where is that container?

• Disposable sensor modules that activate automatically • Safe, instantaneous environmental monitoring • Pollution, radiation, temperature, vibration… • Difficult or dangerous places • Low cost and long battery life for sensor modules • Simple to deploy infrastructure - LPWANs

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



Bridging IoT “Connectivity Gap”

32

IoT Gap Requirements GSM (4G/LTE/LTE-M) LPWANLong range

wireless sensor communications?

Yes - 10km + idealYes Yes

Low cost to connect sensor into wireless

network?

Yes - Ideally $2 for a radio module.

Enable multitudes of sensor deployments and

business cases as possible

No ($30-$50) radio module

$40k - $100k certification process

Yes ($2-$5) radio module

< $1k certification process

Long sensor battery life?

Yes - 5-10 years on AA battery

Maybe 6 months Yes - upto 10 years on AA battery

Realistic sensor to base station range

(non-urban)10km +

10 km 15 km - antenna at height of 60 feet

Low cost to build large scale

wireless IoT networks?

Yes - deployments cheap as possible

Enable organizations to build IoT networks

$$ Billions - purchase licensed spectrum

AND then build infrastructure

$$ Millions uses unlicensed spectrum.

Levers existing telecoms infrastructure

LPWANs have been specifically designed to bridge the IoT “connectivity gap”.

These enable multitudes of sensors to be deployed COST and ENERGY efficiently.

This enables a plethora of business propositions


Introducing LPWANs

LPWAN = Low Power Wide Area Network Unlicensed radio spectrum - its free! Wireless – new form of “tweeting” cellular Developed specifically for the IoT New paradigm for build of IoT solutions, Impact and ROI

World first open Standard for IoT LPWANs Open standards proven to develop wireless markets

Low Cost – sensor connections, data costs, IoT infrastructure build Low Power – Sub 1Ghz radio, sensors exist on AA battery - years Long Range – 10km + (1 base station supports millions of IoT Messages per day)

4 Billion LPWAN connections by 2020 (Jan 2015)



US IoT Economic Framework

34

How much would it cost to cover the United States with an IoT LPWAN?

$60 Million Dollars!

14,000 LPWAN Base Stations14 Billion IoT sensor connections

LPWANs could be the biggest innovation and economic growth opportunity we have ever seen!



US IoT Climate Change Framework
