Confronting Climate Gridlock
An atmospheric scientist explains why global climate change mitigation and energy decarbonization demand American diplomacy, technology, and policy “Daniel Cohan makes a compelling case that the problem of climate change is solvable. Fixing the gridlock on global action requires fixing the gridlock here in the United States of America. Cohan shows how that can be done.”—David Victor, UC San Diego Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international “climate clubs” and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.
New Mobilities
In New Mobilities: Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies, transportation expert Todd Litman examines 12 emerging transportation modes and services that are likely to significantly affect our lives: bike- and carsharing, micro-mobilities, ridehailing and micro-transit, public transit innovations, telework, autonomous and electric vehicles, air taxis, mobility prioritization, and logistics management. Public policies around New Mobilities can either help create heaven, a well-planned transportation system that uses new technologies intelligently, or hell, a poorly planned transportation system that is overwhelmed by conflicting and costly, unhealthy, and inequitable modes. His expert analysis will help planners, local policymakers, and concerned citizens to make informed choices about the New Mobility revolution.
Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources
The Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources, Second Edition, is a comprehensive seven-volume set that serves as a vital interdisciplinary reference for those working with batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, supercapacitors, and photo-electrochemical cells. With an increased focus on the environmental and economic impacts of electrochemical power sources, this work not only consolidates extensive coverage of the field but also serves as a gateway to the latest literature for professionals and students alike. The field of electrochemical power sources has experienced significant growth and development since the first edition was published in 2009. This is reflected in the exponential g...

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: Solusi yang Kita Miliki dan Terobosan yang Kita Perlukan
Untuk menyetop pemanasan dan menghindari efek terburuk perubahan iklim, manusia perlu berhenti menambah gas rumah kaca ke atmosfer. Kedengarannya sukar, karena memang akan sukar. Dunia belum pernah melakukan apa pun yang sebesar itu. Tiap negara akan harus mengubah cara beroperasinya. Hampir semua kegiatan dalam kehidupan modernÑmenumbuhkan, membuat, bergerakÑmelibatkan pelepasan gas rumah kaca. Jika tak ada yang berubah, dunia akan terus memproduksi gas rumah kaca, perubahan iklim akan makin parah, dan dampaknya kepada manusia kemungkinan besar adalah bencana. Namun keadaan bisa berubah. Kita sudah punya beberapa alat yang kita perlukan, dan bagi yang belum kita punyai, segala yang saya sudah pelajari mengenai iklim dan teknologi membuat saya optimis bahwa kita bisa menciptakannya, menggunakannya, dan jika kita bertindak cukup cepat, menghindari bencana iklim. Buku ini adalah mengenai apa yang akan diperlukan dan mengapa saya pikir kita bisa melakukannya. ÑBILL GATES
İklim Felaketini Nasıl Önleriz
Bu kitap, okuyan herkesi dünyanın ve doğanın geleceği için bir nefer yapacak. "İşte iklim değişikliği hakkında bilmeniz gereken iki rakam. Birincisi 51 milyar. Diğeri ise sıfır. 51 milyar, dünyanın genel anlamda her yıl atmosfere saldığı ton cinsinden sera gazı miktarı. Bu rakam yıldan yıla bir miktar aşağı veya yukarı yönde değişse de, genellikle artıyor. Bugün bulunduğumuz nokta bu. Sıfır ise emisyonda hedeflememiz gereken rakam." Bu kitap, iklim ve çevre konusunda okuyabileceğiniz en gerçekçi ve yol gösterici kitap. Bill Gates hayal kurmak, yeryüzünde cennet ütopyaları yaratmak yerine, yıllarca bilim insanları, uzmanlar ve aktivistlerle işb...
Jak zabránit klimatické katastrofě
>> „Gates předkládá vůbec nejsrozumitelnější vysvětlení toho, co je příčinou oteplování naší planety, jak měřit vliv myriády lidských činností na tento ohromující a zdánlivě nevypočitatelný problém, a konečně jak se s tím efektivně vypořádat. Je to nejužitečnější návod na řešení klimatické krize, který jsem kdy viděl.“ — Fortune << ## O knize Nemusíte být klimatologové, abyste měli povědomí o oteplování planety a souvisejících jevech: o obdobích extrémních veder, bouří, stoupání hladiny moří, povodních, následných hladomorech a migračních vlnách. Bill Gates nás však vyzývá, že není na místě propadat strachu...
