At the same time, targets of such regulation have often argued on grounds of inefficiency that the associated costs outweigh any potential benefits. In this work, Jason Johnston unpacks and critiques the legal, economic, and scientific basis for precautionary climate policies pursued in the United States and, in doing so, sheds light on why the global warming policy debate has become increasingly bitter and disconnected from both climate science and economics. Johnston analyzes the most influential international climate science assessment organizations, the US electric power industry, and land management and renewable energy policies. Bridging between sound economics and climate science and climate law and policy, this pathbreaking book shows how the United States can efficiently adapt to a changing climate while radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Greenhouse gas mitigation $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Global warming $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Renewable energy sources $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Liability for environmental damages $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental law $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW / Environmental. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Climatic changes $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864251 650 7 $a Environmental law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913122 650 7 $a Global warming $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943512 650 7 $a Greenhouse gas mitigation $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766067 650 7 $a Liability for environmental damages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997106 650 7 $a Renewable energy sources $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094586 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108245968 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015543.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506012434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2F9E56A477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
