Overview

This important book examines one of the most crucial issues in the modern world: climate change. With a refreshing interdisciplinary perspective that pulls together strands of natural science, economics and ethics, Greenhouse Economics poses some serious questions and offers intelligent answers. Themes covered include: how does science interact with business and government? what role does the media play? to what extent should individuals take responsibility for the society in which they and their descendants live? By examining issues such as the Kyoto Protocol, recent economic analysis, and the ethical concerns of environmental economics, this book manages to provide an up-to-date and informative analysis of this important problem facing society. Though this book is of obvious interest to students and academics in the field of environmental economics, it will also provide required reading for academics across a raft of subjects such as geography, ethics and ecological studies as well of being of great interest to policy-makers in general.
