Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear corners. Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 563 pp. The primary obstacles to addressing climate change are not scientific but political and economic. Ignorance and confusion surrounds this issue - including lack of understanding of climate science, its implications for the environment and society, and the range of policy options available - and this contributes to the political morass over dealing with climate change. These comprehensive essays consider: climate science in historical perspective; analysis of uncertainties in climate science and policy; the economics of climate policy; north-south and intergenerational equity issues; the role of business and industry in climate solutions; and policy mechanisms including joint implementation, emissions trading, and the so-called clean development mechanism.
