描述
The book—companion to a PBS series—that proves humans are causing global warming and offers a path to the future. Since the discovery of fire, humans have been energy users and always will be. And this is a good thing-our mastery of energy is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom and has allowed us to be the dominant species on the planet. However, this mastery comes with a price: we are changing our environment in a profoundly negative way by heating it up. Using one engaging story after another, coupled with accessible scientific facts, world authority Richard B. Alley explores the fascinating history of energy use by humans over the centuries, gives a doubt-destroying proof that already-high levels of carbon dioxide are causing damaging global warming, and surveys the alternative energy options that are available to exploit right now. These new energy sources might well be the engines for economic growth in the twenty-first century.

Since the discovery of fire, humans have been energy users. And this is a good thing; our mastery of energy is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom and has allowed us to be the dominant species on the planet.

Using one engaging story after another, coupled with accessible scientific facts, the author explores the history of energy use by humans over the centuries, gives a doubt-destroying proof that already-high levels of carbon dioxide are causing damaging global warming, and surveys the alternative energy options that are available to exploit right now.

备用描述
Using one engaging story after another, and keeping the science light and the chapters short, world authority Richard B. Alley gives his readers three takeaways: 1) the fascinating history of human energy use over the centuries; 2) a doubt-destroying presentation of the evidence that the rapidly rising level of CO2 from fossil-fueled energy is bringing damaging global warming; and 3) an eye-opening survey of the alternative-energy options available to us *right now*.
