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, and 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.
