Rahm (public administration and policy, U. of Texas at San Antonio) discusses climate change policy in the US. She begins with an overview of global warming and its impacts on the planet, the main contributing countries, and projected consequences, then considers international treaties and agreements relating to greenhouse gas reductions, the US position on them, and the shifts in US public policy from the administrations of George H.W. Bush to Barack Obama. She also addresses the split between the US and other nations regarding the Kyoto Protocol, how well the mechanisms of the protocol are working, and possible changes to the treaty that will succeed it. Subsequent chapters address the roles of organizations objecting to climate change policy in the US; the debate in terms of morality, ethics, social justice, and religious duty; the role of Al Gore; the sources of US emissions by sector; and technological and other solutions.
