It demonstrates that equilibrium thermodynamics can provide full explanations for the basic processes of life such as photosynthesis and metabolism, and that non-equilibrium thermodynamics is close to providing an explanation for how life started. .Armed with a solid appreciation of the power of thermodynamics, the second half of .Warming to Ecocide. discusses whether multinational corporations have convinced the public that climate change is insignificant and thereby neutered any all attempts by governments to espouse environmentally-friendly policies. It then goes on to offer strategies whereby mankind may avoid propelling the global average temperature above the pre-industrial level by more than 2°C, which scientists view as a threshold presaging catast | | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | | 关键词 | Climate Change; Equilibrium Thermodynamics; Global Greenhouse; Greenhouse Effect; Non-Equilibrium Thermo | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-85729-926-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4471-6020-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-85729-926-0 | | copyright | Springer London 2011 |
