Preface Global warming is considered an average increase in the Earth’s temperature due to greenhouse effect as a result of both natural and human activities. In common usage, “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases, which act like a greenhouse around the earth, trapping the heat from the sun into the earth’s atmosphere and increasing the Earth’s temperature. Catastrophic events around the world have brought a desperate picture to forefront! The Global Conference on Global Warming 2008 (GCGW-08) was initiated to bring all disciplines together for local and global solutions to combat global warming. It is a multi-disciplinary global conference on global warming (and climate change), not only in engineering and science but also in all other disciplines (e.g., ecology, education, social sciences, economics, management, political sciences, and information technology). It covers a broad range of topics on energy an
