Argument in the Greenhouse

How can greenhouse gases be controlled and reduced?

This book adds a significant new contribution to the crucial climate change/global warming debate. Incorporating the key political and legal considerations into real world applied economic analysis, the authors provide a unique focus on the wider political economy of the problem.

All the key issues of controlling climate change (costs, timing and degree of stabilisation, ecological tax reform, developing countries, and evolution of international agreements), are placed firmly within the current legal and political context, with state-of-the-art economic techniques introduced to analyse different policy proposals.

Covering both the developing and developed world, this book identifies important new policies to foster effective agreements on emissions and prevent global warming - realistic policies, likely to receive support at both international and domestic levels.
