It argues that the key to a transition to a low carbon future is the rapid and large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies in power generation, transport and industry, coupled with super energy-efficient building design and construction. However, the author also reveals how major oil companies and petrochemical conglomerates have systematically attempted to manufacture doubt and uncertainty about global warming and climate change, continue to block the commercialization of solar energy and wind power, and impede the electrification of the transport sector. Martin Bush?s solution is a theory-of-change approach to substantially reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050, which sets out realistic steps that people can take now to help make a difference. Martin J. Bush has over thirty years of senior project management experience in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean in the fields of renewable energy, natural resources management, disaster preparedness, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. 606 $aEcology 606 $aClimatology 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aPhysical Geography 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 676 $a333.707 676 $a363.73874 700 $aBush$b Martin J.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0898228 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370040503321 996 $aClimate Change and Renewable Energy$92007035 997 $aUNINA
