Abstract

Global Warming has man-made root causes and amplification effects. As reliability engineers, we know that without understanding real root causes, you may not be addressing the main part of a problem. This will be a key issue in this chapter as the global warming emphasis has been on CO₂ reduction. Therefore, our focus in this chapter will be to look at a key root cause that is not currently being addressed enough often termed Urban Heat Islands (UHI) effect. This is the heat created from cities and their area coverage. We will focus on this primarily because at the present time, the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s governing body on the subject, is not providing any guidance on “albedo” goals similar to the way they have made suggestions for CO₂ reduction. This is important as most countries look to the IPCC for guidance and it is the author’s opinion that UHI do provide a reasonable contribution to global warming, as well as it is known that they cause health-related problems from their excess heat.
