Beskrivelse

"Fighting for a Greener World" brings together the latest science on Climate Change and the most innovative global remedies and solutions. Climate Change is worsening with temperatures and sea levels rising and the ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic melting at unprecedented rates. Climate change is spawning extreme weather including months of historic flooding in China, tropical temperatures in Siberia, massive back-to-back hurricanes, unprecedented wildfires and scorching summer temperatures. Global scientists warn that the Earth is on a collision course with Climate disasters unless action is taken now to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions.Green TravelIn the book, I examine current and emerging remedies and solutions to reverse Climate Change. Green, electric, emissions-free travel by car, plane and other fascinating new forms of green transportation are showcased in the book.Green Renewable EnergyThe book presents the latest renewable energy solutions being deployed and developed. New energy sources include hydrogen, wind and solar power. We look at the question of how global utility companies are supporting or not supporting the use and development of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. According to an Oxford University comprehensive analysis of 3,000 power companies worldwide, an overwhelming majority are not supporting and funding renewables. In fact, the Oxford study concludes global utilities "are undermining the fight against Climate Change".Green Governments, Businesses and InvestingThe book also details the efforts of governments worldwide to regulate, reduce and eventually eradicate greenhouse gas emissions. The green goals of major corporations like Apple and Microsoft are showcased. As are the very specific green investment parameters newly instituted by global financial institutions, such as Blackrock.If you care about Climate Change's relentless assault on the Earth, the air we breathe and the water we drink and the growing global fight to combat Climate Change, you will find this book of great value.
