Scaling from Site-Specific Observations to Global Model Grids
Improvements in energy efficiency alone are probably insufficient to stabilize carbon dioxide concentrations and mitigate their global warming potential. In this lecture, Dr. Martin Hoffert, Professor Emeritus at New York University, demonstrates that a global transition to sustainable carbon-free energy systems must be initiated to avoid a “stabilization crunch” and to meet Rio Treaty implementation demands.
