Council on Foreign Relations publishes new book on America's climate change policy

Climate change is one of the most complex problems on today's policy agenda. Serious efforts to control the emissions that cause global warming will require societies to incur costs now while the uncertain benefits accrue in the distant future. Climate Change: Debating America's Policy Options, provides a balanced and comprehensive account of the issues involved in climate change policy. Written by David G. Victor, a leading expert on environmental policy, this report is an unmatched teaching tool that can be used by educators, students, journalists, policymakers, and interested citizens to galvanize serious debate. Seeking to raise public awareness about the complexities of climate change, Victor presents three alternative policy options in the form of presidential speeches, along with a memo that explains the multidimensional nature of this critical issue.
