The Science and Technologies of Global Warming: For the betterment of humanity facing population growth

This book revisits and clarifies the scientific paper: "An Interdisciplinary System Level Analysis of the Primary Scientific Causes of the Changes in Earth's Atmospheric and Surface Temperatures (Globally and Regionally) - and Mitigation Actions Needed" submitted by technology developer Herbert A. Hutchinson (author of numerous books on technology development) for peer review by scientists and STEM educators in key organizations within the federal government, technology industries, scientific societies, and academia.The primary purpose of Part One in this book is to identify and correct the fallacious basic principles of climate science currently being taught in high schools, colleges, and universities wherever they exist on the planet. The updated information was obtained by applying a heuristic STEM-based system approach in the comprehensive "big picture" scientific analysis of the many databases that heretofore have been subjugated in importance or have been totally ignored (intentionally or unintentionally) by many environmental scientists and activists.As described in Part Two of this book, based on the findings and conclusions of this correct scientific analysis (in Part One), the set of technologies currently being developed to reduce anthropogenic "greenhouse gas" emissions have been reanalyzed for usefulness. By applying the updated factual causes and effects of global warming on the planet (on surface temperature, on the climate, and on oceans' surface levels rising), there has resulted in a more useful set of technologies better serving the energy needs of the US population faced with large population growth (projected by the United Nations World Population Division to double or perhaps triple by 2300).Part Two of this book also reveals validity of the Weighted Trade Study approach (proven in prior technological developments) applied to 25 existing or promising technologies (listed on the back cover of the book). A third purpose of this book (also in Part Two) is to address the need for much better control of anthropogenic pollution (especially plastic trash being dumped in the ocean) and the need for increase in modern wastewater treatment facilities generated by the growing population as projected by the United Nations.
