      abstract = {Floods, species extinction, migration, droughts, super  tornadoes - climate change is no longer a threat looming on  the horizon but has long since become part of our everyday  lives. Limiting the emerging and worsening climate changes  is one of the most important challenges of our time. All  human induced climate impacts can be traced back to a  single factor: Energy. This book provides a comprehensive  and readable introduction to the interplay between energy  and climate, which also includes the fields of technology,  economics, and politics. At the same time, the issue is  highly complex and can only be understood in all its  details by expert scientists, meaning that the facts are  often poorly presented in the political discussion about  climate. To put it simply: If we want to stop and even  reverse the current climate trends, we need to find answers  to the following three questions: · How exactly does our  existing way of consuming energy affect the climate? · What  options are there for generating energy without negative  climate effects, and what do these mean for our lives? ·  What technological advances will directly help us to  achieve this in future? In a non-alarmist yet entertaining  manner, the book highlights the key determinants of global  energy supply. Readers will come to appreciate the crucial  facts about "energy and climate", will be up to date with  the latest scientific and technological knowledge, and will  understand the global political and economic framework that  we need to consider when designing an appropriate future  energy and climate policy. At the same time, the author  conveys a clear and optimistic message: We already have the  technical capabilities (which will be further enhanced in  the future) to reverse the devastating climate trends  without significantly limiting prosperity. The obstacles  lie primarily in economic and political "constraints" and  particular conflicts of interest},
