Climate Change: Debating Americas Policy Options
by By Victor, David G.
Category: Political Science , Public Policy , Environmental Policy

Ever since withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol in 2001, the US has incurred criticism for its stance on climate change. Victor (energy and sustainable development, Stanford University) presents three alternative policy options the US could pursue, in the form of hypothetical presidential speeches. The "speeches" are preceded by a memorandum that explains the nature of the issue. Appendices provide authentic scientific reports, government speeches, and legislative proposals. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
