But as author and prominent Yale economist William Nordhaus observes, the issues involved in understanding global warming and slowing its harmful effects are complex and cross disciplinary boundaries. For example, ecologists see global warming as a threat to ecosystems, utilities as a debit to their balance sheets, and farmers as a hazard to their livelihoods. In this important work, William Nordhaus integrates the entire spectrum of economic and scientific research to weigh the costs of reducing emissions against the benefits of reducing the long-run damages from global warming. The book offers one of the most extensive analyses of the economic and environmental dynamics of greenhouse-gas emissions and climate change and provides the tools to evaluate alternative approaches to slowing global warming. The author emphasizes the need to establish effective mechanisms, such as carbon taxes, to harness markets and harmonize the efforts of different countries. This book not only will shape discussion of one the world's most pressing problems but will provide the rationales and methods for achieving widespread agreement on our next best move in alleviating global warming. 606 $aGlobal warming$xEconomic aspects 606 $aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGlobal warming$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a363.738/74 700 $aNordhaus$b William D$0106474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456350703321 996 $aA question of balance$92476878 997 $aUNINA
