A brand new up to date book explaining how Politics, Science and Energy Needs for the 21st century are all shaping Climate Change.

• There is much talk about Climate Change. Documentaries on TV showing extremes in weather, animal domains that are being cleared, the murdering of animals such as elephants, big cat species, rain forest depletion, city pollution - the list goes on.

• Kyoto Protocol and the more recent Paris Agreement - nice group photos of world leaders. Has it done anything to reduce Greenhouse gases?

• What are greenhouse gases (GHG)? What are GHG equivalents, and why are they still being legally produced?

• Is there a hole in the ozone layer? Or is it more mis-information. Does it matter?

Climate Change Explained  looks at, and explains the Politics involved, the Science, the history, and Energy requirements in the 21st century.

We live on a planet that has more people alive today than all previous populations put together. We have caused more damage in the past three centuries than the 165 million years that dinosaurs inhabited the planet.

Is flying many hundreds of people to attend a conference with all of the security people involved, delegate's PAs, secretaries, special transport vehicles required, just a publicity display and a chance to have a group photo taken?

Will a signature on a sheet of paper mean anything to a factory worker being paid a pittance in countries such as China, India, and Turkey? The children in India that pull the 'recycled' car batteries apart with their bare hands and letting the acid and water leak into the local rivers?

Will changing laws actually remedy the situation? Are laws for the law abiding, or does having money mean they don't apply?

The book looks in-depth at why many ideas such as electric vehicles may not be the remedy it is hyped up to be. Building more wind farms in the UK according to Government data has barely kept up with the increased demand for electricity. According to their latest data it appears 2021 was a poor year for wind so fossil fuelled power stations actually had to produce more electricity into the grid.

Are battery powered ships possible? Is hydrogen the fuel for the future?

There are so many facets to 'Climate Change'. It isn't anything new as such.

The climate is constantly changing;

• Ice Fairs where the River Thames froze over with ice so thick that oxen could be open roasted on it.

• Several years when most of Europe remained about freezing, or below all through the year. Millions died, not of the cold, but starved to death as no crops could grow, animals died of starvation and so did the populations.

• Other extremes occurred shortly afterwards when the hottest time on record. 1666 - The Great Fire of London. That September had followed a very hot and dry period which contributed to the rapid spread of fire. The Industrial Revolution hadn't happened at that time though.
