Produktbeschreibung
If you're tired of hearing endless noise about climate change, global warming, and carbon dioxide, then you need facts. Richard Jones, an energy expert, explores fossil fuel usage throughout the world, examining the current utilization rate, what we must do to mitigate usage, and what can and cannot be done through the substitution of electricity, regardless of how it is generated. He also answers questions such as: ¿ How our weather patterns change and why? What is the law of unintended consequences? ¿ Who profits by calling climate change into dispute? ¿ What should the automobile of the future look like? The author also highlights the fact that it is added heat, not carbon dioxide, that is causing global warming. Other topics include the need to generate additional electricity, the economic stimulus necessary to promote the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, and the role of nuclear power. Cut through the noise and find answers to real questions with the data and insights in Climate Change: The Shiny Object in the Room.

Autorenporträt
Richard was born and grew up at Horton Farm and enjoyed the rugged life of a farmer's son growing up in Shropshire.

He then joined the Regular Army and served with the 10th Bt Gurkha Rifles in Hong Kong and Borneo and then the Light Infantry in Northern Ireland and Germany. When he left the Regulars in the mid-1990s, he again worked on the farm for a few years before joining the Police in which he now still serves. Richard remained a Reservist and has seen operational service in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2002-03. Very happily married to Louise to whom Chasing Crows is dedicated and in memory of his parents. Richard now runs the farm with his wife and three children where they run a small Aberdeen Angus herd and breed Shire Horses.
