| Abstract: | Millions of people are demanding that government take immediate and effective action to fight global warming. Hundreds of policy ideas are floating about, and many of them aren't very good. If bad climate poli¬cies are adopted, we'll lose crucial time before real emission reduc¬tions can occur. We can't afford to let that happen. This citizen's guide explains in clear and simple language what different climate policies will do—and what they won't do. It tells you who's behind the policies, who'd pay for them, and who'd profit. It strips away the spin and tells you the key facts you need to know. Barnes shows that it is possible to aggressive¬ly fight global warming while simultaneously promoting a more effi¬cient and fair economy. |
