The failure of the Copenhagen climate conference in December 2009
revealed major flaws in the way the world's policymakers have
attempted to prevent dangerous levels of increases in global
temperatures. The expert authors in this specially commissioned
collection focus on the likely costs and benefits of a very wide
range of policy options, including geo-engineering, mitigation of
CO2, methane and 'black carbon', expanding forest, research and
development of low-carbon energy and encouraging green technology
transfer. For each policy, authors outline all of the costs,
benefits and likely outcomes, in fully referenced, clearly
presented chapters accompanied by shorter, critical alternative
perspectives. To further stimulate debate, a panel of economists,
including three Nobel laureates, evaluate and rank the
attractiveness of the policies. This authoritative and
thought-provoking book will challenge readers to form their own
conclusions about the best ways to respond to global warming.
