"Renewable resources such as wind, solar, and geothermal are often perceived as being the answer to the fossil fuel crisis. Ironically, however, climate change may also negatively impact on these energy sources. All forms of renewable energy are somewhat sensitive to climate variation. This new compendium looks at the impact of renewable resources on climate change from a variety of perspectives. Each chapter in Climate Change and the Future of Sustainability: The Impact on Renewable Resources was carefully selected by the editor, resulting in a book that looks at the impact of renewable resources on climate change from a variety of perspectives. The book covers the following topics: wind energy and climate change; solar energy and climate change; hydropower and climate change; geothermal energy and climate change; efficiency and feasibility of renewable energies. What is certain is that today's models may not necessarily be accurate when predicting a world where climate change has become a reality. Because of this, the research collected in this compendium is of vital importance in order to begin creating a more accurate picture of what we can expect from renewable energy sources in the years ahead."--
