Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of "balance," quoting extremists who deny its existence). This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the earth's carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former U.S. Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN. 606 $aGlobal warming 606 $aGreenhouse effect, Atmospheric 615 0$aGlobal warming. 615 0$aGreenhouse effect, Atmospheric. 676 $a363.738/74 700 $aEmanuel$b Kerry A.$f1955-$0754155 702 $aInglis$b Bob$f1959- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971804603321 996 $aWhat we know about climate change$94336232 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02616nam 2200517z 450 001 9911007117203321 005 20210416121048.0 010 $a1-5231-3541-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000011772257 035 $a(NjHacI)994100000011772257 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011772257 100 $a20210223d2020uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConceptual design of buildings /$fJ.

You'll identify and solve major problems before you embark on a detailed design, and learn the skills to work with clients and colleagues from all disciplines. Drawing on the expertise of seven engineering/teaching professionals, and led by the University of Bristol's Dr James Norman, this book sets out to develop students' and graduates' understanding of the process - providing inspiration for the Institution's IPD core objective on conceptual design. Topics covered include: generating and communicating ideas through sketching and writing, preparing the brief, the concept design process itself, consideration of site constraints and ground conditions, developing a structural scheme, understanding robustness and stability, sizing of elements, and what to produce at the end of the process. It also includes worked examples. 410 0$aIStructE guides. 606 $aBuildings 606 $aArchitectural design 615 0$aBuildings. 615 0$aArchitectural design. 676 $a729 700 $aNorman$b James$c(Civil engineering teacher)$01822840 702 $aBroadbent$b Oliver 702 $aCarr$b Jon F. 702 $aHarpin$b Richard 702 $aDe'Ath$b Rachael 702 $aKnowles$b Gavin 702 $aLloyd$b Isobel 712 02$aInstitution of Structural Engineers (Great Britain) 801 0$bUkBaUB 801 2$bUkBaUB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007117203321 996 $aConceptual design of buildings$94389241 997 $aUNINA
