Modern forms of energy improve many areas of daily life. Better sanitation systems, well-functioning health care and education services, and dependable transportation and telecommunications all depend on reliable electricity. Lighting a single room allows a child to read or do homework at night, while continuous power can support larger appliances, keep food cold, and allow businesses to flourish.

Climate Change and Rising Sea Levels by 
The Climate Change Crisis by
Climate change is perhaps the defining issue of our time, yet its extent and impacts are called into doubt as we struggle to understand and accept climate science and agree on how to reduce emissions in order to deal with this looming global environmental crisis. The causes, consequences and costs of responding to climate change are subject to heated political debate in Australia and worldwide, in spite of a growing number of expert reports warning against the irreversible and catastrophic effects of dangerous climate change. This book presents the latest findings and projections, and examines what Australia and the rest of the world is doing to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis. How much of global warming and extreme weather is human-induced? As we continue to weigh up the costs of action in relation to the risks, is it time to ask: are we leaving it too late to effectively tackle climate change?
