Addressing these questions, Glen Sussman and Byron Daynes trace the evolution of US climate change policy, assess how key players?the scientific community, Congress, the president, the judiciary, interest groups, the states, and the public?have responded to climate change, and explore the prospects for effective policymaking in the future. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.738/745610973 700 $aSussman$b Glen$01506304 702 $aDaynes$b Byron W. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792921103321 996 $aUS politics and climate change$93820077 997 $aUNINA
