Advances in the geological storage of carbon dioxide international approaches to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions /

As is now generally accepted mankind's burning of fossil fuels has resulted in the mass transfer of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, a modification of the delicately-balanced global carbon cycle, and a measurable change in world-wide temperatures and climate. Although not the most powerful g...
