| Item Description: | "Despite commitments to renewable energy and two decades of international negotiations, global emissions continue to rise. Coal, the most damaging of all fossil fuels, has actually risen from 25% to almost 30% of world energy use. And while European countries have congratulated themselves on reducing emissions, they have increased their carbon imports from China and other developing nations, who continue to expand their coal use. As standards of living increase in developing countries, coal use can only increase as well--and global temperatures along with it.In this hard-hitting book, Dieter Helm looks at how and why we have failed to tackle the issue of global warming and argues for a new, pragmatic rethinking of energy policy--from transitioning from coal to gas and eventually to electrification of transport, to carbon pricing and a focus on new technologies. Lucid, compelling and rigorously researched, this book will have a lasting impact on how we think about climate change"-- Provided by publisher. Includes bibliographical references and index |

Despite two decades of international
negotiations, many commitments to renewable
energy and considerable global expenditure,
hardly any progress has been made in terms
of addressing climate change. Emissions
continue to rise, and coal, the most damaging
of all fossil fuels, has actually increased from
25%
to almost
30%
of world energy use.
While European countries have congratulated
themselves on reducing emissions, they have
actually increased their carbon imports from
China and other developing nations, who
continue to expand their coal use as living
standards rise. Meanwhile, international
agreements such as Kyoto, despite massive
hype, have achieved very little.
In this hard-hitting book, Dieter Helm
looks at how and why we have failed to tackle
the issue of global warming and argues
for a new, pragmatic rethinking of energy
policy
-
from transitioning from coal to gas
and eventually to electrification of transport,
to carbon pricing and a focus on new
technologies. Lucid, compelling and rigorously
researched, this book will have a lasting
impact on how we think about climate change.
