Energy Demands

This is part of a series which explains how our planet is being destroyed by negligence and short-sighted attitudes towards our environment. The consequences are now becoming apparent with pollution, acid rain, global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. This book shows clearly what is happening to the environment and the results if no action is taken. It is about decision making for future generations and examines the different energy forms in use and their effect on the environment from the greenhouse effect to acid rain, the problems of nuclear power and looks to the future. The author is a specialist in atmospheric physics and part of the British Antarctic Survey Team which discovered the hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic.
