In his previous book "The Facts and Fallacies of Climate Change on Our Planet", the Author has independently proven - by in-depth forensic analysis of several databases of information - that the factual causes for global warming, climate change, and ocean levels rising are not because of Man burning fossil fuels and creating a nearly-insignificant concentration of "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere. The ash residue from coal burning is toxic and carcinogenic - the use of coal should be reduced in the United Sttes because its' ash is a pollutant not because of its emissions having a "greenhouse" effect.
As the front cover mottled temperature image shows, climate change is a regional problem not an "average" global problem. The factual causes of those unwanted changes are a result of astrological, geophysical, and natural factors singly and in complex combinations. Those findings do not absolve Man from creating a hazardous amount of pollution on the planet's water, land, and air resources needed for all forms of life to flourish safely, in protected health, and in comfort.
This book (by the same Author) evaluates, using a mathematical prioritization technique, many of the technologies (each having a unique set of "pros" and "cons") that exist, are emerging, or need to be further developed to enable Man and the environment to realistically deal with the inevitable regional changes hazarding Man and the environment. It is not an "either/or" - it is "all of the above". There is no crisis, but as the population grows in number, most of the challenges also grow with time. Fortunately, with challenges comes opportunities for those associated with all aspects of STEM.

The Author has earned Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Aeronautical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology which prepared him well for the development (concept formulation, laboratory and flight testing, and analysis of large databases of technical and science content) of many advanced technologies operating in the world environments. The first quarter of his 40+ year professional career were with the Georgia Tech Research Institute as a wind tunnel engineer and with two major airframe manufacturers (in New York and Texas) developing and testing flight vehicle systems for the US Air Force. The middle half of his career was as a Federal Civil Servant (at Grade GS-15) developing and applying advanced technologies for flight systems and was Chief System Engineer for development of the USAF F-16 Multinational Weapon System. He served on three Presidential level technological fact-finding committees and several crash investigations (with multiple fatalities). Those achievements caused him to be selected as the Chief of the Flight Technologies Division in the Air Force Systems Command. His education and multi-faceted experiences were concluded as the Manager of System Engineering at the Northrop Corporation in California for the last quarter of his career. He is more than qualified to assess the "big picture" of climate change and alternative energies problems in his third and fourth published books: "The Facts and Fallacies of Climate Change on Our Planet" and "Dealing with the Real Climate Change".
