Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Scientifically proven facts are indisputable, but that hasn't stopped climate change deniers from trying. Much of the controversy regarding climate change stems from the recalcitrance of corporations to adhere to stricter emission standards, which, consequently is born of the fear of lower profits. Dr. Gboloo argues in favor of a different approach that doesn't undermine private sector profits, but does have the potential to make a major impact on the future of the planet." --The US Review of BooksIntensive facts & recent findings in the "620" point by point reference, with a 730 descriptive index.e- Wildfire Personal Protective Equipment- Components of fi re prevention programs- Wildland Urban Fire Fighting- Fuel Modification to provide Defensible Space for homes- Fire Extinguishment Methods- Applications of Fire Fighting Resources: Bulldozers- Applications and Use of Fire Engines- Basic Tools for Suppression and Pre-suppression of Wildfires- Aerial Forest Fire Fighting: Air Tankers; Helicopters & Aircrafts- Recommendations for Action to Deescalate Western Regional States of the United States growing wildfire infernos- Incident Command Systems, introduction and applications in Canada- Irrigation Systems for managing severe droughts in wildfire regions in Mexico- Capacity Building for Wildfire Prevention and Control in low Socio-economic regions of Mexico; Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Peru- Some of the Wildfire Early Warning Systems Technology; Case Study in Chile- Forest Management Activities: Thinning & Removal of hazardous fuel to reduce severity of wildfires in Colombia
