CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustionby Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2004; US$ 149.00Recent years have witnessed a fundamental change in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues. In recognition of this change and in preparation for the Tenth Conference of the Parties (COP-10) meeting under the U.N. Climate Convention in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 6 to 17 December 2004, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. more...
The Phanerozoic Carbon Cycleby Robert A. Berner
Oxford University Press 2004; US$ 125.00The Pharnerozoic Carbon Cycle applies an earth system science approach to the study of the long-term carbon cycle, which involves the transfer of carbon between rocks and the atmosphere, oceans and life. Theoretical modeling is used to calculate how levels of atmosphere CO2 nad O2 have changed over the past 550 million years. more...
CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion : 1971 / 2004by OECD Publishing
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2006; US$ 188.00In recognition of fundamental changes in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO 2 emissions from fuel combustion. This annual publication was first published in 1997 and has become an essential tool for analysts and policy makers in many international fora such as the Conference of the Parties. . The twelfth session of the Conference of the Parties to the Climate Change Convention (COP 12), in conjunction with the second meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP/MOP 2), will be meeting in Nairobi from 6 to 17 November 2006. . The data in this book are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of the emissions of CO 2 from 1971 to 2004 for... more...
How to Live a Low-Carbon Lifeby Chris Goodall
Earthscan 2007; US$ 24.95Climate change isnt someone elses problem we all have to play our part. Its time for us all to go on a carbon diet and this book shows you how. Charles Dunstone (CEO of Carphone Warehouse and a founding partner in The Climate Groups partnership to promote climate change solutions) As this admirable guide demonstrates so clearly a low-carbon lifestyle can be elegant fun rewarding and save us all a lot of money - as well as the planet! Jonathon Porritt CBE (Founder Director of Forum for the Future and author of Capitalism as if the World Matters) Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity: drastic reduction of carbon emissions is vital if we are to avoid a catastrophe that devastates... more...
Gas Trees and Car Turdsby Kirk Johnson; Mary Ann Bonnell
Fulcrum Publishing 2007; US$ 9.95Global warming is a complicated problem. Gas Trees and Car Turds is a fun, fast read about the carbon cycle: trees are made of air and water, electricity is made from coal that is made from trees, gasoline is made from plankton, and all of these things are related to each other and to our climate through carbon dioxide. This colorfully illustrated book makes carbon dioxide, an invisible odorless gas responsible for global warming and plant growth, into something that can be imagined and understood by children. more...
CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion 2005by OECD Publishing; International Energy Agency
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2005; US$ 188.00This book presents the International Energy Agency's authoritative data on CO 2 emissions from fuel combustion for more than 140 countries for the period 1971-2003. For each country, breakdowns are provided by sector and by fuel. For comparison, an annex extends coverage to greenhouse gas emissions generally. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emissions factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories . more...
How to Live a Low-Carbon Lifeby Chris Goodall
Earthscan 2010; US$ 24.95Drastic reduction of carbon emissions is vital if we are to avoid a catastrophe that devastates large parts of the world. Governments and businesses have been slow to act - individuals need to take the lead now if we are to avoid climate chaos.Each Westener is responsible for an average 10 - 20 tonnes of carbon emissions each year (depending on where you live). In How to Live a Low-Carbon Life, Chris Goodall shows how easy it is to take responsibility, providing a comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating your CO2 emissions and reducing them to a more sustainable 2 tonnes a year. This fully revised and expanded new edition takes into account new government targets on emissions reductions and includes up-to-date calculations and... more...
CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion 2010by OECD Publishing; International Energy Agency
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2010; US$ 231.00The data in this book show the evolution of the emissions of CO2 from 1971 to 2008 for more than 140 countries and regions by sector and by fuel. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. more...
The Global Carbon Cycleby David Archer
Princeton University Press 2010; US$ 24.95The Global Carbon Cycle is a short introduction to this essential geochemical driver of the Earth's climate system, written by one of the world's leading climate-science experts. In this one-of-a-kind primer, David Archer engages readers in clear and simple terms about the many ways the global carbon cycle is woven into our climate system. He begins with a concise overview of the subject, and then looks at the carbon cycle on three different time scales, describing how the cycle interacts with climate in very distinct ways in each. On million-year time scales, feedbacks in the carbon cycle stabilize Earth's climate and oxygen concentrations. Archer explains how on hundred-thousand-year glacial/interglacial time scales, the carbon cycle in... more...
Evidence-Based Climate Scienceby Don Easterbrook
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 119.95Global warming and human-induced climate change are perhaps the most important scientific issues of our time. These issues continue to be debated in the scientific community and in the media without true consensus about the role of greenhouse gas emissions as a contributing factor. Evidence-Based Climate Science: Data opposing CO 2 emissions as the primary source of global warming objectively gathers and analyzes scientific data concerning patterns of past climate changes, influences of changes in ocean temperatures, the effect of solar variation on global climate, and the effect of CO 2 on global climate to clearly and objectively present counter-global-warming evidence not embraced by proponents of CO 2 . An unbiased, evidence-based... more...
