Die Herausforderung globaler Klimawandel
At least half of the global warming observed during the 20th century of about 0.8°C is of anthropogenic origin and mostly due to enhanced atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in response to the burning of fossil fuels. The climate problem is therefore closely linked to the way we produce energy. Climat...
