Written from the unique and informed perspective of someone who has served as an advisor to every interested stakeholder, Unlocking the Global Warming Toolbox is the first and only book to focus on the key options for designing and implementing equitable and goal-specific carbon regulation. Since CO2, once emitted, remains warming the atmosphere for a century after its release, the choices made now may push us past the point of no return in terms of global warming.
This book is a regulatory toolkit holding the policy and legal implements necessary to shape the carbon future. It showcases the ongoing legal and regulatory issues that will be worked out both in the United States and in international programs for years, and highlights the lasting issues related to crafting successful carbon control. Unlocking the Global Warming Toolbox is a must-have for those who would regulate carbon and those who would be subject to that regulation—policymakers, regulators, industry, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers.
