\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnergy and Climate Change: An Introduction to Geological Controls, Interventions and Mitigations\u003c/i\u003e examines the Earth system science context of the formation and use of fossil fuel resources, and the implications for climate change. It also examines the historical and economic trends of fossil fuel usage and the ways in which these have begun to affect the natural system (i.e., the start of the Anthropocene). Finally, the book examines the effects we might expect in the future looking at evidence from the \"deep time\" past, and looks at ways to mitigate climate change by using negative emissions technology (e.g. bioenergy and carbon capture and storage, BECCS), but also by adapting to perhaps a higher than \"two degree world,\" particularly in the most vulnerable, developing countries. \u003ci\u003eEnergy and Climate Change \u003c/i\u003eis an essential resource for geoscientists, climate scientists, environmental scientists, and students; as well as policy makers, energy professionals, energy statisticians, energy historians and economists.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an overarching narrative linking Earth system science with an integrated approach to energy and climate change\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a unique breadth of coverage from modern to \"deep time\" climate change; from resource geology to economics; from climate change mitigation to adaptation; and from the industrial revolution to the Anthropocene\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReadable, accessible, and well-illustrated, giving the reader a clear overview of the topic\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
