FEATURES and the possibility that we have to adapt. The new report considers the options for preventing climate change by reducing greenhouse gases emissions. The set of three IPCC reports summarizes thousands of scientific studies produced to drive the actions of the political authorities of the world’s governments on this issue. The new report is primarily concerned with the measurement and the consistency of greenhouse gas emissions and actions that we’ve to take to drive to their reduction, to limit the damage caused by global warming. Many of his conclusions are based on the possibility of extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere using a technology which has to demonstrate its practical value yet. “There is a whole series of technological studies of which at the moment is more fun to talk about, than La prima soluzione standardizzata e perfettamente modulare per Data Centre 19 to implement, nothing concrete yet ready for now”, says David G. Victor (Professor of International Relations and Director of the Laboratory on International Law and Regulations at University of California, San Diego). All scientists agree to avoid a worsening the ongoing climate change a mandatory action should be imposed by all those involved - governments , industries and cities – to stabilize all greenhouse gases levels below 450 parts per million. But this figure it’s likely to be exceeded even with more aggressive measures to reduce these emissions by investing in energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear power and technology to capture CO2 from fossil fuel power plants. The method of extraction of CO2 considered by the third IPCC report is an approach called Bioenergy or BECCS (Bioenergy with Per saperne di più www.rittal.it
