註釋Author Jacqueline Langwith provides readers with a fact-filled direct message about the role of the government when confronting global warming. This volume explores government's role in addressing climate change on both a national and international level. It discusses official recognition of climate change such as the Kyoto Protocols. Readers will look at the United States' historical responses to climate change and at efforts to regulate carbon dioxide and reduce emissions through a carbon tax and renewable fuel standard. Readers will explore energy-efficient building, land use policies, and efforts to maintain biological diversity.
