The introduction of the horseless carriage solved many of these problems but has created others. Today another revolution in transportation seems overdue. Transportation consumes two-thirds of the world's petroleum and has become the largest contributor to global environmental change. Most of this increase in scale can be attributed to the strong desire for personal mobility that comes with economic growth. In Transportation in a Climate-Constrained World, the authors present the first integrated assessment of the factors affecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger transportation. They examine such topics as past and future travel demand; the influence of personal and business choices on passenger travel's climate impact; technologies and alternative fuels that may become available to mitigate GHG emissions from passenger transport; and policies that would promote a more sustainable transportation system. And most important, taking into account all of these options are taken together, they consider how to achieve a sustainable transportation system in the next thirty to fifty years. 606 $aTransportation$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aCombustion gases$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation 606 $aAir quality management 606 $aTransportation and state 608 $aElectronic books 615 0$aTransportation$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aCombustion gases$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation. 615 0$aAir quality management. 615 0$aTransportation and state. 676 $a363.73/1 700 $aJacoby$b Henry D$01945352 701 $aSchäfer$b Andreas$060886 712 02$aOverdrive.com 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911095804003321 996 $aTransportation in a climate-constrained world$94700098 997 $aUNINA 999 $9Higher Colleges of Technology
