Produktbeschreibung

This balanced analysis shows that the current Kyoto-Protocol Climate Protection System, and other proposals for improving the commitment system may not be capable of meeting the ultimate objective 'to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system'. On the other hand, says the author, there is hope that the implementation of Global Climate Certification Systems are a beginning that offers a chance for mankind to prevent dangerous climate change.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book shows how much humankind can 'prevent dangerous interference with the climate system' without dangerous interference with the global economic system. ... this book is centered on the economic side of the prevention of global warming. ... It is certainly a rich source of information on the economic part of the Kyoto protocol ... . Recommended for critics of the Kyoto system and admirers of the global climate certificate system." (Ch. Kessler, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 15 (6), 2006) "This book provides an interesting alternative approach to global climate change policy, and its reliance on market-based incentives is its strong suit. ... Those with a sincere interest in policy proposals based on per capita allocations and emissions trading would find this manuscript of more interest." (Joseph E. Aldy, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, September, 2006)
