Abstract

A bibliometric analysis and a short discussion of some solutions to global warming. The current chapter attempts to reassess the origin of global warming and proposes an effective human-scale solution. The bibliometric review reveals an increasing trend of indexed publications from 1936 to 2020. The trend analysis shows research turning towards topics such as performance, life-cycle assessment, electric vehicles, construction, thermal comfort, mechanical properties, and quality. With regard to the origin of global warming, doubt is cast on the view that increased heat in the atmosphere is chiefly caused by increased carbon. From the point of view of chemistry and physics, CO2 is not a cause of heat, but a result of what creates heat (combustion). Moreover, the low-carbon strategies suggested to control the increase of heat seem slow, difficult to measure and control, and so far, ineffective. In industry, it is axiomatic that good technologies have measurable results, and always work in the same way if conditions are as foreseen.
