This review is from: Safeguarding the Ozone Layer and the Global Climate System: Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Hardcover)
"Safeguarding the Ozone Layer and the Global Climate System - Issues Related to Hydrofluorocarbons and Perfluorocarbons" is an excellent resource for climate change professionals on ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and their impact on global warming. Although the 1987 Montreal Protocol banned the production of ODS (over a long timeline), it assumed that any existing ODS would simply be emitted into the atmosphere. It turns out that most of the ODS also have a very high global warming potential (GWP), and there are many benefits to climate change mitigation if these high-GWP greenhouse gases can be prevented from entering the atmosphere.Chapters include refrigeration, residential and commercial air conditioning and heating, mobile air conditioning (A/C in vehicles), insulation foam, medical aerosols, fire protection, solvents, and more. A very technical reference book written in the IPCC style. Not to be confused with popular reading on global warming. This book has become very handy in the climate change mitigation work I do for the government. |
