COMMENT ON DE
BOOK:
The United Nations Organization
defines climate change as the global variation of the Earth's climate.
This variation is due to natural causes and human action and occurs on all
climatic parameters: temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, etc., at very different
time scales. One of humanity's most important
challenges is to face climate change induced by frenetic human activity.
For our planet to arrive in
acceptable conditions for future generations, it is necessary to take measures .
Polluting emissions from fossil fuels are the main
cause of such climate change. It is clear that we must try to replace them with
clean energy (without polluting emissions) and renewable energy (that does not
run out). This book includes
solved practical exercises, tables with data of interest, diagrams, graphs,
photos, etc. Explanations are also given about the greenhouse effect, acid rain,
the ozone layer, the carbon cycle, the ecological footprint, etc.
It is a reference book of great interest for the
general public, official bodies, equipment manufacturers, training courses,
energy agencies, engineering, installers, investors, etc .
