Global Climate Change and the Shipping Industry

Environmentalists want industrialized nations to reduce the emission of greenhousegases that warm the atmosphere. For more than twenty years, however,their pleas have been mostly ignored.Naval architects and ship designers can play a critical role in reducing greenhousegases by designing effi cient ships that are safe and environment friendly.New innovations would enhance fuel effi ciency and encourage other industriesto adopt new ways of thinking.Ship designers are already working to develop a ship that is safe, effi cient andecologically friendly. Discover why these efforts are so important, and alsolearn the following:- Ways a realistic and practical carbon dioxide index for ships can beestablished- How much pollution commercial ships cause- How safety concerns and other variables affect ship design- What new designs could mean For The environmentThere is a great deal of uncertainty about why climates are changing, but thisdoes not mean theories revolving around global warming are wrong. Discovernew approaches to solve the problem, and take steps to Understand The stakesinvolved with Global Climate Change And The Shipping Industry.
