| Contents Notes |
Introducing the CO2 molecule and its carbon atom -- From a molecule in beer to the great cycle of carbon in the biosphere -- The worldwide increase of CO2 -- Fossil-fuel carbon atoms join the biosphere -- Carbon's fluxes and its rate of increase -- Time capsules in ice -- Wealth, energy, and CO2 -- How high will the CO2 go? -- Reining in the CO2 increase -- The ultimate fates of our carbon atoms. "In CO2 Rising, scientist Tyler Volk explains the process at the heart of global warming and climate change: the global carbon cycle. Vividly and concisely, Volk describes what happens when CO2 is released by the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), letting loose carbon atoms once trapped deep underground into the interwoven web of air, water, and soil."--Jacket. |
