Robert Shackleton (au); Douglas Holtz-Eakin (pf). A scientific consensus is emerging that rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are gradually changing the Earth’s climate, although the magnitude, timing, & effects of the alteration remain very uncertain. The prospect of long-term climate change (CC) raises a variety of domestic & international issues on which there is little accord. This is an overview of issues related to CC, focusing primarily on its economic aspects. Draws from numerous published sources to summarize the current state of climate science & provide a conceptual framework for addressing CC as an economic problem. Also examines public policy options & discusses the potential complications & benefits of international coordination. Tables.
