And yet, of all the fossil fuels ever consumed, more than half were burned in the last 50 years. Most alarming of all, fossil fuel consumption has grown fastest in the last three decades, since scientists confirmed that it is the main cause of potentially devastating global warming. In Burning Up, Simon Pirani recounts the history of fossil fuels' relentless rise since the mid twentieth century. Dispelling explanations foregrounding Western consumerism, and arguments that population growth is the main problem, Pirani shows how fossil fuels are consumed through technological, social and economic systems, and that these systems must change. This is a major contribution to understanding the greatest crisis of our time.Fossil fuelsEnvironmental aspectsFossil fuelsEconomic aspectsElectronic books.Fossil fuelsEnvironmental aspects.Fossil fuelsEconomic aspects.363.7387Pirani Simon857023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910309959403321Burning up1994424UNINA00841nam a22002411i 450099100057391970753620041003190304.0041108s1995 it a||||||||||||||||ita 8843555413b13240882-39ule_instARCHE-117243ExLDip.to Studi StoriciitaA.t.i.
