ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

 "Energy and Climate Change" is a book that explores the complex interplay between energy, civilization, and climate change. Inspired by his old passion for power plants studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan, the author takes the reader on a journey through history and the challenges of the future.

In the past, the main issues concerning power plants were the stability of large dams and the transportation of coal. Today, the situation has changed dramatically, with air pollution, solar and wind power, and hydroelectric power plants dominating the discussion. The author provides a unique perspective on the evolution of the energy industry, including the promise of atomic power plants, which were starting to be studied at the Polytechnic University.

The book delves into the topic of climate change, which has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. Drawing on his extensive research and participation in COP meetings and conferences, the author offers a comprehensive summary of the current state of knowledge on the topic. He explores the global energy situation in 2019 and the dangerous trap we face in our dependence on fossil fuels.

The author examines the relationship between climate change and energy, and the role of international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow COP26. He also provides insights into how the Earth's atmosphere works, the climate of the Earth since its beginning, and the behavior of the oceans. The book covers dendroclimatology and volcanoes, and explores the relationship between climate and human evolution, from prehistory to ancient history.

The author concludes with a discussion of the Northern Sea Route and the human climate saga. "Energy and Climate Change" is a must-read for anyone interested in the pressing issue of climate change and its relationship with energy and civilization.
