Concerns about climate change and global warming / Donald J. Wuebbles, Atul K. Jain, Robert G. Watts -- Posing the Problem / Robert G. Watts -- Adaptive strategies for climate changes / Robert J. Lempert, Michael E. Schlesinger -- Energy efficiency: a little goes a long way / Susan J. Hassol, Neil D. Strachan, Hadi Dowlatabadi -- The potential of renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions / Walter Short, Patrick Keegan -- Carbonless transportation and energy storage in future energy systems / Gene D. Berry, Alan D. Lamont -- What can nuclear power accomplish to reduce CO₂ emissions / Robert Krakowski, Richard Wilson -- Nuclear fusion energy / Arthur M. Molvik, John L. Perkins -- Energy prosperity within the twenty-first century and beyond: options and the unique roles of the sun and the moon / David R. Criswell -- Geoengineering the climate: history and prospect / David W. Keith.

The vast majority of the world's climate scientists believe that the build-up of heat-trapping CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to global warming unless we burn less fossil fuels. At the same time, energy must be supplied in increasing amounts for the developing world to continue its growth. This book discusses the feasibility of increasingly efficient energy use and the potential for supplying energy from sources that do not introduce CO2. The book analyses the prospects for Earth-based renewables: solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal and ocean energy. It then discusses nuclear fission and fusion, and the relatively new idea of harvesting solar energy on satellites or lunar bases. It will be essential reading for all those interested in energy issues, including engineers and physicists (electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, environmental, nuclear), and industrial leaders and politicians. It will also be used as a supplementary textbook on advanced courses on energy.
