Title: Illinois International: Global Climate Change -- Proof and Policy
Host: Nicole Tami, Associate Director for International Engagement, IPS
Guest: Don Wuebbles, Harry E. Preble Professor of Atmospheric Science, University of Illinois
Sponsor: International Programs and Studies, University of Illinois
Co-sponsor: UI-7, the cable TV service of the University of Illinois
Description: This summer Americans faced record breaking temperatures and extreme weather conditions. While severe drought conditions and wildfires plagued the western part of the country, north-central regions were dealing with persistent rains and flooding. But these unusual weather conditions are not unique to the United States, or even North America. What is causing these dramatic changes in temperature trends? What are the immediate and long term impacts of these climate shifts? Don Wuebble talks about climate change with moderator Nicole Tami on this episode of Illinois International.
We learn more about the climate of the windy city, Chicago, Illinois.

As the first Big Ten university to submit its Climate Action Plan (iCAP) to the ACUPCC, Illinois continues to set high standards with aggressive goals for reaching carbon neutrality. Campus leadership is committed to exceeding these goals and is on target due to significant progress toward interim goals.
On Target to Exceed Goals
With support of senior leadership, Illinois' energy reduction goal in the iCAP is a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2015 using a fiscal year 2008 baseline. Conservation efforts have led to a 19% reduction to date, only 1% shy of the 2015 goal. The energy use emissions reduction goal is 15% by fiscal year 2015, and campus has already achieved a 16% reduction; again exceeding our goals years in advance.
Illinois' significant investments toward sustainability efforts in the past four years include more than $19 million in local funds and $6.5 million in grant funds. These investments have realized approximately $12 million in energy savings so far. Through collaboration and contributions from both campus administration and the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), Illinois created a revolving loan fund totaling $1.5 million.
The campus' water conservation goal is a 20% reduction by 2015. Using a 2008 baseline, campus is well on its way with a 16% reduction with four years to go.
The iCAP also committed Illinois to higher building standards by increasing from LEED Silver to LEED Gold in 2010, and in 2015 our standard will be LEED Platinum. Presently, the campus has one Platinum building, one Gold, and two Silver.
Student Commitment
Illinois is home to many passionate students. Our students voted for the largest green student fees in America. The two fees equal $17 per student per semester providing more than $1 million annually for sustainability projects. The SSC is responsible for reviewing and recommending funding for campus projects from these fees.
Education
Sustainability education can be found across many disciplines at Illinois; more than 250 courses related to sustainability are offered through 43 different departments on campus. The Office of Sustainability organizes an annual curriculum workshop. So far 35 instructors from many different disciplines have participated in these workshops. The modifications to their courses will reach 6,500 students per year. The campus goal is that every Illinois graduate should know about sustainability.

We all understand that climate change is one of the most serious problems facing our whole civilization. It's so easy to get dispirited about how we're going to make a difference in a problem that big.
But if you think about it, the solutions are all around us.
Climate change comes from pollution from power plants. It comes from energy that we use to heat, cool and light our buildings. It comes from how we get around.
We have control over all those decisions.
We decide where our power comes from and how we use it. We decide what kind of light bulbs we use, where we set the thermostat, whether the house is heated and cooled all the time or only when we're in the house.
By being smarter about how we use energy, you'll see savings on your energy bill. And if we all do it together, we'll start winning the battle against climate change.
That's really exciting to know that we have that power.

Climate of Illinois
The Climate of Illinois describes the weather conditions, and extremes, noted within the state of Illinois, USA, over time.
Because of its nearly 400 miles (640 km) length and mid-continental placement, Illinois has a widely varying climate. Most of Illinois has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfa) with hot, humid summers and cool to cold winters. The southernmost part of the state, from about Carbondale southward, borders on a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) with more moderate winters. Average yearly precipitation for Illinois varies from just over 48 inches (1,200 mm) at the southern tip to 35 inches (890 mm) in the northern portion of the state. Normal annual snowfall exceeds 38 inches (970 mm) in Chicago, while the southern portion of the state normally receives less than 14 inches (360 mm). The highest temperature recorded in Illinois was 117 °F (47 °C), recorded on July 14, 1954, at East St. Louis, while the lowest temperature was -37 °F (-39 °C), recorded on January 15, 2009, at Rochelle.

Illinois
Illinois (
i/ˌɪlᵻˈnɔɪ/ IL-i-NOY) is a state in the midwestern region of the United States. It is the 5th most populous state and 25th largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire country. With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in central and northern Illinois, and natural resources like coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois River. For decades, O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics.
Although today the state's largest population center is around Chicago in the northern part of the state, the state's European population grew first in the west, with French Canadians who settled along the Mississippi River, and gave the area the name, Illinois. After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1810s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River, at one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan.John Deere's invention of the self-scouring steel plow turned Illinois' rich prairie into some of the world's most productive and valuable farmlands, attracting immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden. Railroads carried immigrants to new homes, as well as being used to ship their commodity crops out to markets.

As the first Big Ten university to submit its Climate Action Plan (iCAP) to the ACUPCC, Illinois continues to set high standards with aggressive goals for reaching carbon neutrality. Campus leadership is committed to exceeding these goals and is on target due to significant progress toward interim goals.
On Target to Exceed Goals
With support of senior leadership, Illinois' energy reduction goal in the iCAP is a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2015 using a fiscal year 2008 baseline. Conservation efforts have led to a 19% reduction to date, only 1% shy of the 2015 goal. The energy use emissions reduction goal is 15% by fiscal year 2015, and campus has already achieved a 16% reduction; again exceeding our goals years in advance.
Illinois' significant investments toward sustainability efforts in the past four years include more than $19 million in local funds and $6.5 million in grant funds. These investments have realized approximately $12 million in energy savings so far. Through collaboration and contributions from both campus administration and the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), Illinois created a revolving loan fund totaling $1.5 million.
The campus' water conservation goal is a 20% reduction by 2015. Using a 2008 baseline, campus is well on its way with a 16% reduction with four years to go.
The iCAP also committed Illinois to higher building standards by increasing from LEED Silver to LEED Gold in 2010, and in 2015 our standard will be LEED Platinum. Presently, the campus has one Platinum building, one Gold, and two Silver.
Student Commitment
Illinois is home to many passionate students. Our students voted for the largest green student fees in America. The two fees equal $17 per student per semester providing more than $1 million annually for sustainability projects. The SSC is responsible for reviewing and recommending funding for campus projects from these fees.
Education
Sustainability education can be found across many disciplines at Illinois; more than 250 courses related to sustainability are offered through 43 different departments on campus. The Office of Sustainability organizes an annual curriculum workshop. So far 35 instructors from many different disciplines have participated in these workshops. The modifications to their courses will reach 6,500 students per year. The campus goal is that every Illinois graduate should know about sustainability.

The campus' water conservation goal is a 20% reduction by 2015. Using a 2008 baseline, campus is well on its way with a 16% reduction with four years to go.
The iCAP also committed Illinois to higher building standards by increasing from LEED Silver to LEED Gold in 2010, and in 2015 our standard will be LEED Platinum. Presently, the campus has one Platinum building, one Gold, and two Silver.
Student Commitment
Illinois is home to many passionate students. Our students voted for the largest green student fees in America. The two fees equal $17 per student per semester providing more than $1 million annually for sustainability projects. The SSC is responsible for reviewing and recommending funding for campus projects from these fees.
Education
Sustainability education can be found across many disciplines at Illinois; more than 250 courses related to sustainability are offered through 43 different departments on campus. The Office of Sustainability organizes an annual curriculum workshop. So far 35 instructors from many different disciplines have participated in these workshops. The modifications to their courses will reach 6,500 students per year. The campus goal is that every Illinois graduate should know about sustainability.

We all understand that climate change is one of the most serious problems facing our whole civilization. It's so easy to get dispirited about how we're going to make a difference in a problem that big.
But if you think about it, the solutions are all around us.
Climate change comes from pollution from power plants. It comes from energy that we use to heat, cool and light our buildings. It comes from how we get around.
We have control over all those decisions.
We decide where our power comes from and how we use it. We decide what kind of light bulbs we use, where we set the thermostat, whether the house is heated and cooled all the time or only when we're in the house.
By being smarter about how we use energy, you'll see savings on your energy bill. And if we all do it together, we'll start winning the battle against climate change.
That's really exciting to know that we have that power.
