Description

Readily accessible to any interested reader, this volume is the synthesis of the larger, more technical companion volume. The authoring panel provides an analysis of the major issues surrounding greenhouse warming and presents recommendations for U.S. policy. These recommendations address a wide range of issues, including energy policy; deforestation; human population growth; the appropriate role of the United States in an international strategy; and needed research on scientific, economic, and social questions.
