William Jacobson on Global Warming

William Jacobson spoke to us about “Global Warming-is it Human or Naturally Caused” with primary emphasis on heat exchange and energy from the sun. William believes the United States is moving forward in solutions to Global Warming but not fast enough, especially in areas of reducing carbon dioxide in the air. He believes Europe is ahead of the U.S. in climate control measures … for instance Denmark is eliminating gas powered cars by 2025.  In the U.S., he is very supportive of current efforts in wind and solar including new developments for a window solar power industry. He wants to get more people behind climate change efforts, including increasing the ~17 percent who don’t believe in warming and the ~30 percent who believe warming is a natural phenomenon.  William has BS and MS Mechanical Engineering degrees from City University of New York/USC and Juris Doctor from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. Other courses relating to climate change include meteorology and guide to planets. His professional work included heat transfer/fluid flow engineering in the aerospace industry, electric power systems management for San Diego Gas/Electric, and intellectual property legal work for the oil and gas industry.  William is a member of the Sustainable Villages Club and he and his wife Sheree live in The Villages.
