Overview

""Greenhouse and Energy"" should be of interest to scientists and technologists as well as members of the public wishing to be informed about environmental and sociological aspects of the implications of energy changes on the greenhouse effect. While the emphasis is on Australian conditions, the approaches are of relevance to other countries.
