Book excerpt: Carbon Folly identifies the sources of CO2 emissions in the United States and whether these emissions can be significantly reduced. Some people believe that CO2 emissions are causing global warming and are petitioning Congress to pass Cap & Trade regulations.Carbon Folly examines the technologies that have been proposed for cutting CO2 emissions, and whether any of them are actually ready to significantly cut CO2 emissions. Congress is poised to enact Cap & Trade regulations that require cutting CO2 emissions by up to 80%. The book examines whether Congress is putting the cart before the horse by proposing Cap & Trade regulations before knowing whether these technologies will actually work. If technologies are not available for cutting CO2 emissions, could Cap & Trade regulations irreparably harm the American economy and destroy jobs?Nuclear, Carbon Capture and Sequestration, IGCC power plants, Clean Coal, Hydrogen, Electric Cars, Wind and other renewable are all examined to see how they might contribute to cutting CO2 emissions.America?s population is forecast to increase by 139 million by 2050 from the 2000 census. This increased population equals the total population of the United States during WWII. How will this affect cutting CO2 emissions? And how does this increase in population compare to Europe?s when the EU is pressuring the U.S. to cut its emissions of CO2?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living through a unique moment of transition, marked by a frenetic cycle of invention, construction, consumption and destruction. However, there is more to this transition than globalization, argue the authors of this unique and penetrating study. In their highly innovative approach, they set this transition against a broader evolutionary canvas, with the emphasis on the evolution of governance. The book's detailed analysis of five strategic sectors (economy, environment, health, information and security) points to an intricate and rapidly evolving interplay of geopolitical, cultural an.

Download or read book Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy written by Robert Chris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even by the scientists most closely associated with it, geoengineering – the deliberate intervention in the climate at global scale to mitigate the effects of climate change – is perceived to be risky. For all its potential benefits, there are robust differences of opinion over the wisdom of such an intervention. Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy is the first book to theorise geoengineering in terms of complex adaptive systems theory and to argue for the theoretical imperative of adaptive management as the default methodology for an effective low risk means of confronting the inescapable uncertainty and surprise that characterise potential climate futures. The book illustrates how a shift from the conventional Enlightenment paradigm of linear reductionist thinking, in favour of systems thinking, would promote policies that are robust against the widest range of plausible futures rather than optimal only for the most likely, and also unlock the policy paralysis caused by making long term predictions of policy outcomes a prior condition for policy formulation. It also offers some systems driven reflections on a global governance network for geoengineering. This book is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in climate change policy, geoengineering, and CAS theory, including academics, under- and postgraduate students and policymakers.
