Controlling the level of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is a
rapidly growing area of commercial activity. While debate continues
both about the impact of greenhouse gas on climate and the role
humans play in influencing its concentration, engineers are faced
with less controversial questions of how to manage this uncertainty
and how to control greenhouse gases at a minimum cost to society.
This book gives a concise review of current knowledge required for
engineers to develop strategies to help us manage and adapt to
climate change. It has been developed from the author's graduate
course in environmental engineering. It is written without
technical jargon so as to be accessible to a wide range of students
and policymakers who do not necessarily have scientific or
engineering backgrounds. Appendices allow readers to calculate for
themselves the impact of the various strategies, and the book
contains student exercises and references for further reading.
