• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book indicates the most optimal solutions for the growing civilization problem related to climate change that takes place more and more rapidly on our planet. It is divided into two parts: In the first part, the authors - based on the available analyzes and reports on climate change taking place on Earth - present their own point of view in relation to the above issue, while trying to find answers to the following questions:

· Why is it so difficult to admit that humans are responsible for the ongoing climate change?

· Will climate change destroy life on Earth?

· Can science and modern technologies stop this process?

In the second part of the book the authors propose a solution for the advancing climate change, regarding the reduction of CO₂ emissions coming mainly from the energy sector. On the basis of scientific achievements and implementations of research institutions in Poland, especially the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of thePolish Academy of Sciences in Gdansk, the book proposes directions of development of the energy transformation in Poland and other countries for which fossil fuels currently make a large contribution to the energy production process and are the main emitter of CO₂ to the atmosphere. The book is addressed to citizens, ecologists, climatologists as well as politicians and experts responsible for shaping the climate and energy policy of the country level and also the world.
