Unlike other books on the subject, it brings together both the technology and policy issues to provide a truly interdisciplinary approach. Mark Diesendorf provides a guide to our future energy options, outlining the enormous recent changes in the energy sector in Australia and internationally. Diesendorf argues that we now have the technologies needed to transform our fossil-fuel based energy systems into an ecologically s 606 $aClimate change mitigation$zAustralia 606 $aClimate change mitigation$xGovernment policy$zAustralia 606 $aClimatic changes$zAustralia 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aGreenhouse effect, Atmospheric$xResearch 606 $aSustainable development$zAustralia 606 $aClimate change mitigation$xResearch$zAustralia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimate change mitigation 615 0$aClimate change mitigation$xGovernment policy 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGreenhouse effect, Atmospheric$xResearch. 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aClimate change mitigation$xResearch 676 $a551.6 700 $aDiesendorf$b Mark$0911538 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465156803321 996 $aSustainable energy solutions for climate change$92041257 997 $aUNINA
