The Impact of Global Warming

European Forests and Global Change: The Likely Impacts of Rising CO2 and Temperature

Product Description
Studies of global climate change predict that increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature are expected to occur over the next century. To help gain an insight into the potential effect of these changes on forests, this book describes how major European tree species respond to experimentally manipulated environmental conditions. The contributors describe the effects on photosynthesis, respiration, and development and use the results to generate models … More >>

Macro-Engineering: Engineering, Global warming, Pollution, Megascale engineering Aerially Delivered Re- forestation and Erosion Control System, Green … Red Sea dam, Agroforestry, Atlantropa.

Product Description
In engineering, macro-engineering (alternatively known as macroengineering or macro engineering and as megaengineering) is the implementation of extremely large-scale design projects. In particular, macroengineering is the process of marshaling and managing of resources, technology, and public opinion on a large scale to carry out complex tasks that last over a long period of time.In contrast to conventional engineering projects, macroengineering projects (called ma… More >>

Global Warming and the Political Ecology of Health: Emerging Crises and Systemic Solutions

Product Description
In this groundbreaking, global analysis of the relationship between climate change and human health, Hans Baer and Merrill Singer inventory and critically analyze the diversity of significant and sometimes devastating health implications of global warming. Using a range of theoretical tools from anthropology, medicine, and environmental sciences, they present ecosyndemics as a new paradigm for understanding the relationship between environmental change and disease. … More >>
