Modern transportation lets us travel farther and faster than ever before, but these developments have come at a cost. This book explores ways we can move around without harming the planet. Case studies show how scientists are working on cleaner fuels and new forms of transportation in order to prevent pollution, which affects people�s health, and greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change. Find out how we can contribute by changing our own transportation habits.

Throughout history, humans have been finding and developing ever-faster modes of transportation — moving from horses to the cars and high-speed jets of today. We have been very successful in our search for faster transportation, but it has come at a price. Our vehicles have all had an effect on the natural environment. The good news is there are a growing number of people devoting their lives to solving environmental issues related to transportation. The young adults of today will be the job force of tomorrow, so choosing a career that will best fit with the needs of the changing world will be important to job satisfaction and a successful life. With the vast array of career and job options, it will also be important for young adults to understand which work will be the best match for their interests, talents, goals, and personality types. Certain careers are expected to gain importance within the early decades of the twenty-first century. The opportunities for jobs related to "green" transportation are expected to increase at a faster than average rate as the world looks to repair damages already done to the environment and prevent new problems. The future of the planet is dependent on the development of cleaner and greener forms of transportation. If you choose a career in green transportation, you can help put us on the road to a better world!

Global warming continues to gain importance on the international agenda and calls for action are heightening. Yet, there is still controversy over what must be done and what is needed to proceed. Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming describes the information necessary to make decisions about global warming resulting from atmospheric releases of radiatively active trace gases. The conclusions and recommendations include some unexpected results. The distinguished authoring committee provides specific advice for U.S. policy and addresses the need for an international response to potential greenhouse warming. It offers a realistic view of gaps in the scientific understanding of greenhouse warming and how much effort and expense might be required to produce definitive answers. The book presents methods for assessing options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, offset emissions, and assist humans and unmanaged systems of plants and animals to adjust to the consequences of global warming.
