Contents Notes | The science behind predictions of climate change -- Historical evidence on climate and human well-being -- The health effects of global warming -- Weather benefits and other environmental amenities -- The economic costs (benefits?) of a warmer world -- Slowing greenhouse gas emissions : politics and costs. "Demonstrates that increased carbon dioxide emissions, coupled with warmer autumns and winters, would boost agricultural production, reduce heating costs, improve transportation, and cut fatalities ... The costs of curbing greenhouse gas emissions would far exceed even the most pessimistic estimates from losses from climate change."--Jacket. |
