Rezensionen

"[A]n important and timely book...The strength of the book is in the criticism of arguments uncritically favoring the so-called market for buying and selling of permits to emit carbon dioxide as the solution to avoid climate change...Highly recommended."

Poul Thøis Madsen, International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
