Greenhouse Economics - Value and Ethics (Hardcover)

This important book examines one of the most crucial issues in the modern world: human induced climate change. Providing a refreshing interdisciplinary perspective, which pulls together strands of natural science, economics and ethics, Greenhouse Economics poses some serious questions and offers intelligent answers.
Themes covered include:
*How do we deal with uncertainty and ignorance?
*What role do science and economics play in policy formation?
*To what extent should individuals take responsibility for the society in which they and their descendants live?
By examining issues such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, recent economic analyses, and ethical concerns in economics, Greenhouse Economics manages to provide an up-to-date and informative analysis of some of the most important issues facing society.
The book will be of strong interest to students and academics in the fields of ecological and environmental economics, while also being essential reading for all those to whom climate change is a professional or personal concern. The interdisciplinary analysis will appeal to academics in a range of subjects including politics, geography, environmental ethics and ecology, as well as policy makers.
