Chronological Analysis of Climate Change and an Overview of Nuclear Energy

Abstract

The greatest threat to humanity on a global scale in the twenty-first century is climate change. To keep our planet habitable, actions that will have a positive impact on climate change must be put into effect all over the world. This encompasses not only the work of the scientific community, but also effective climate change action from the local to the global level, including individual behaviour, the life way of societies using energy and natural resources, and the policies of governments. Since the sustainability of the economy on which our modern lifestyle is based, depends on the choice of the type of energy we use, energy supply will be one of the most important issues of humanity in the coming years. Rapid industrialization, depletion of energy reserves, political instability in oil and gas exporting countries, as well as the environmental damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions from traditional energy sources obtained from fossil fuels necessitate the need for innovative energy production technologies. Among the high technologies that can help humanity recover from climate disasters and provide clean energy sources, one of the best energy sources today and in the future is nuclear energy. In this study, the willpower expressed to control climate change, the increasing disasters due to climate change, the effects of climate change on our lives, studies on nuclear energy and initiatives on the role of nuclear energy use in preventing climate change have been examined chronologically. In addition, the effects of nuclear energy-related prejudices on existing barriers to energy policy formulation have been revealed.

İklim Değişikliğinin Kronolojik Analizi ve Nükleer Enerjiye Bir Bakış

Abstract

İklim değişikliği, 21. yüzyılda insanlığın küresel ölçekte karşılaştığı en büyük tehdittir. Gezegenimizin yaşanılabilir kalması için, tüm dünyada iklim değişikliği üzerine olumlu etki yaratacak eylemlerin yürürlüğe girmesi gerekmektedir. Bu sadece bilim dünyasının çalışmalarını değil, aynı zamanda bireysel davranışları, toplumların enerji ve doğal kaynakları kullanma biçimlerini ve hükümetlerin politikaları da dahil olmak üzere, yerel düzeyden küresel düzeye uzanan etkili bir iklim değişikliği eylemini kapsamaktadır. Modern yaşam tarzımızın dayandığı ekonominin sürdürülebilir olması, kullandığımız enerji türünün seçimine bağlı olduğundan, enerji tedariki önümüzdeki yıllarda insanlığın en önemli konularından birisini oluşturacaktır. Hızlı sanayileşme, enerji rezervlerinin tükenmesi, petrol ve gaz ihraç eden ülkelerdeki siyasi istikrarsızlık, bununla birlikte fosil yakıtlardan elde edilen geleneksel enerji kaynaklarının sera gazı emisyonları açısından çevreye zarar vermesi yenilikçi enerji üretim teknolojilerine ihtiyacı gerekli kılmaktadır. İnsanlığın iklim felaketlerinden kurtulmasına ve temiz enerji sağlamasına yardımcı olabilecek yüksek teknolojiler içerisinde bugünün ve geleceğin enerjilerinden biri nükleer enerjidir. Bu çalışmada, iklim değişikliğini kontrol altına almak amacıyla ortaya konulan irade, iklim değişikliğine bağlı olarak artan afetler, iklim değişikliğinin hayatımız üzerindeki etkileri, nükleer enerjiye dair yapılan çalışmalar ve nükleer enerji kullanımının iklim değişikliğini önlemedeki rolü üzerine olan girişimler kronolojik olarak inceleme konusu haline getirilmiştir. Ayrıca, nükleer enerjiyle ilgili önyargıların enerji politikaları oluşturulmasının önündeki mevcut engellere etkileri ortaya konulmuştur.
