内容説明
Exclusively published by Lewis, and authored by world class scientists, this is one of the most current works published on energy and climate change. It is the best written synopsis of the chemical, climatic, and environmental effects of continuing emissions of carbon dioxide and other radiatively and chemically active trace gases.
This timely work includes energy scenarios, cost and risk analyses, energy emissions, atmospheric chemistry, climate effects, as well as what is accepted as the best possible technical evaluation available, even while recognizing complex social aspects. All scientists and regulators will want Energy and Climate Change.
