Engineering analysis of desertification of croplands makes use of radiative heating by greenhouse gasses. The FUTURE chapter has an analysis in a sequence of a) radiative forcings with NO NEW anthropogenic emissions post 2020; b) global average in-ground temperature increase by 2100 and its probability; c) increases in continental isotherms temperature leading to desertification; and d) spread of deserts over croplands. Readers may explore the derivative website www.desertification-croplands.com for their own analysis. There is an analysis of croplands depletion from 1950 to 2100 using the…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Engineering analysis of desertification of croplands makes use of radiative heating by greenhouse gasses. The FUTURE chapter has an analysis in a sequence of a) radiative forcings with NO NEW anthropogenic emissions post 2020; b) global average in-ground temperature increase by 2100 and its probability; c) increases in continental isotherms temperature leading to desertification; and d) spread of deserts over croplands. Readers may explore the derivative website www.desertification-croplands.com for their own analysis. There is an analysis of croplands depletion from 1950 to 2100 using the S-Curve. The PRESENT chapter has an analysis of the current atmospheric temperature rise. It is over 5 oC, and causes similar green leaf temperature increase, an increase in ice melting over 90 cm/year, and air work energy increase by ~ 40 Joules/mole. This explains spread of deserts, increase in forest fires, and increased intensity of air disturbances. The PAST chapter has an engineering analysis of de-carbonization alternatives. The 1st engineering principle of performance-vs.-cost is applied via power density of various energy sources. Nuclear plants have the largest power density.
Autorenporträt
Ich wurde 1975 in der UdSSR zum Doktor der technischen Wissenschaften promoviert. Seit ich 1978 in die USA kam, habe ich sparsame Hybrid-Elektroantriebe für Autos und ein energieeffizientes Verfahren zur Rückgewinnung von Kohlendioxid und Wasser in Kraftstoffe entwickelt. Seit Mitte 2000 habe ich technische Daten zur globalen Erwärmung recherchiert. Das Buch ist eine kurze Zusammenfassung meines Wissens.
