This book assesses the sensible, senseless and biased proposals for averting the potentially disastrous consequences of global warming, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions on switching to more sustainable energy provision. Burton Richter is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who has served on many US and international review committees on climate change and energy issues. He provides a concise overview of our knowledge and uncertainties within climate change science , discusses current energy demand and supply patterns, and the energy options available to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. Written in non-technical language, this book presents a balanced view of options for moving from our heavy reliance on fossil fuels into a much more sustainable energy system, and is accessible to a wide range of readers without scientific backgrounds - students, policymakers, and the concerned citizen.Beyond Smoke & MirrorsClimatic changesForecastingRenewable energy sourcesForecastingTwenty-first centuryForecastsClimatic changesForecasting.Renewable energy sourcesForecasting.Twenty-first century363.738/74Richter Burton1931-1028729UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910459300803321Beyond smoke and mirrors2444809UNINA04701nam 2200781 450 991080719240332120201023111955.01-350-09127-81-283-00442-997866130044201-4411-8101-610.5040/9781350091276(CKB)2560000000058216(EBL)655484(OCoLC)703137710(SSID)ssj0000467694(PQKBManifestationID)12162478(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000467694(PQKBWorkID)10490461(PQKB)11549894(MiAaPQ)EBC655484(Au-PeEL)EBL655484(CaPaEBR)ebr10447208(CaONFJC)MIL300442(OCoLC)1201426845(CaBNVSL)mat50091276(CaBNVSL)9781350091276(EXLCZ)99256000000005821620201023d2020 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCitizenship education in Japan /edited by Norio Ikeno ; forewords by Sir Bernard Crick and John J.
