Addressing the widespread desire to better understand how climate
change issues are addressed in the United States, this book
provides an unparalleled analysis of features of the US economic
and political system that are essential to understanding its
responses to climate change. The introductory chapter presents a
firm historical context, with the remainder of the book offering
balanced and factual discussions of government, business and public
responses to issues of energy policies, congressional activity on
climate change, and US government involvement in international
conferences. Abundant statistical evidence illustrates key concepts
and supports analytic themes such as market failures, free riders,
and the benefits and costs of alternative courses of action among
industry sectors and geographic areas within the US. Written for
audiences both outside and within the US, this accessible book is
essential reading for anyone interested in climate change, energy,
sustainable development or related issues around the world.
