Autor William D. Fletcher, Craig B. Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 feb 2024
New developments are covered in this second edition such as advances in the deployment of renewable energy sources and the evolving status of climate change indicators They present a plan based on an established and economically feasible current technology to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. They note that while progress is being made, it is not happening fast enough or on a large enough scale to meet prescribed goals of limiting temperature increase.
- Provides a broad understanding of global warming and climate change, with easily understandable language, tables, and charts
- Presents a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that is based on currently available technology that is well-established and economic
- Discusses practical actions that need to be taken and past successes and failures to understand the complexity of addressing global warming
- Offers a practical plan with recommendations covering the technical, economic, and public policy issues involved
