More than 250 experts from around the world gathered at the
Asilomar Transportation and Energy Conference in August 2007 to
tackle what many agree is the greatest environmental challenge the
world faces: climate change. This 11th Biennial Conference,
organized under the auspices of the Energy and Alternative Fuels
Committees of the U.S. Transportation Research Board, examined key
climate change policy issues and strategies to combat climate
impacts from the transportation sector, a leading source of
greenhouse gas emissions. This book includes chapters by leading
presenters at the Asilomar Conference that reflect the most current
views of the world's experts about a critical and rapidly evolving
energy and environmental problem. The chapters in this book examine
increasing worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases, uncertain oil
supply, evolving climate change science, public attitudes toward
climate change, and the implications for the U.S. of growth in
China, India and elsewhere. They propose methods to reduce growth
in vehicle travel through alternative fuel, new technologies, and
land use planning. They examine the costs and the potential for
greenhouse gas reduction through deployment of advanced technology
and alternative fuels and propose strategies to motivate consumers
to buy fuel efficient and alternative fuel vehicles, including
heavy duty trucks.
