Sommario/riassunto

Written by a diverse group of anthropologists, environmental researchers, environmentalists, and policy-makers, The Carbon Fix closely examines the current model for dealing with global warming--paying for carbon capture--and the negative effects this model has on rural communities, indigenous groups, and others in less developed regions who depend on or control carbon- sequestering lands.
