_a"This book presents a method of sinusoidal gradients of the increasing temperatures and CO2 concentration as measure of global warming and recommendation for control of CO2 emission into the atmosphere. This technique will help as a tool to effect energy transition policies either to maintain or reduce Carbon Footprint. Topics covered include vegetative sinks for carbon capture, energy transition and power reforms from coal, carbon footprint of internal combustion engines and mitigations , and more."-- _cProvided by publisher. |
