Global Climate Change - The Technology Challenge

Edited by Frank Princiotta ...

Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
In order to avoid the potentially catastrophic impacts of global warming, the current 3% CO2 global emission growth rate must be transformed to a 1 to 3% declining rate, as soon as possible. This will require a rapid and radical transformation of the world’s energy production and end use systems. The current generation of energy technologies are not capable of achieving the level of mitigation ... Read more
