About Book
"While various causes contribute to global warming, including natural variations in the Earth's inclination and revolution around the sun, by far the most significant contributor is greenhouse gas emissions. Daily human activity adds worrisome amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapour, and nitrous oxide to the atmosphere. Every individual on Earth has a ""carbon footprint""—a measure of the greenhouse gases emitted daily into the atmosphere. Some people's carbon footprints are significantly larger than others; for example, individuals who live in rich nations such as the United States (the world's greatest emitter of greenhouse gases) emit far more than those who live in developing countries. Numerous activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. As human-caused greenhouse gas emissions grow, they accumulate in the atmosphere and warm the climate, resulting in a slew of other changes around the world—in the atmosphere, on land, and in the oceans.
The purpose of this book is to educate readers on the numerous sources of these gases, their interaction with the atmosphere, their influence on natural systems, and why regulating them is vital for the future climate of the Earth. This book is a seminal work summarising our current understanding of climate change challenges affecting Oceania. It includes facts that summarise the state of knowledge, methodology, and advancements, as well as a selection that build on specific themes and provide major new developments of broad general interest and significance to the climate. It deals with greenhouse gases clusterization, biofuels to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, atmospheric chlorine reactions and recent advances in catalytic/biocatalytic conversion. It also focuses on tool for evaluation of greenhouse gases and agricultural management impact. This book studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of psychology and its utmost significance in modern time. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented in it. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly Language and extensive use of example make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
