Maybe air pollution, toxic waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices, but none of these is actually an environmental problem--at least, not at its heart. Deep down they're economic problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's current market system. This is emphatically true of our greatest environmental threat: global warming. With a focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that enable environmental degradation. This is a book about economics, but it skips the equations and eases through the jargon, opting instead for compelling stories and surprising humor. Readers will encounter high-tech narwhals, struggling coal workers, orbiting giant mirrors, the kids who are suing the U.S. government over climate policy, and vanishing Alaskan towns"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Economic development $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011043.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201211010308.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8584EAF03B7E11EBBDAFC87037ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
