The concrete examples will fuel debate on a passionate topic for many YAs, not only about how to reduce climate change but also how to regulate it. --Booklist, March 2011

Part of a 10-volume series, Confronting Global Warming, this detailed, up-to-date overview focuses on the government’s responsibility for climate change and both the past and present causes of pollution, including chapters focused on regulating lowering automobile emissions, making buildings more energy efficient, and reducing CO2 emissions from agriculture and power generators. Framing the discussion is the fact that the 'air knows no boundaries,' and Langwith lays out the heated issues: government actions to mitigate climate change may cause economic hardship for many; on the other hand, doing nothing may have immense economic consequences, as well as environmental and human costs. The excellent back matter includes a detailed glossary, an annotated bibliography of books, and a listing of recent articles and websites. The concrete examples will fuel debate on a passionate topic for many YAs, not only about how to reduce climate change, but also how to regulate it. --Booklist, March 2011
