Global Warming Gridlock

Nations are paralyzed after decades of failing to cut emissions or to slow the pace of climate change. International law expert David G. Victor argues that the only way to break this gridlock is to craft politically feasible policies. He offers solutions based on old-fashioned national self-interest. Though Victor's writing style is academic, he argues persuasively that the environmental framework used by global-warming diplomats will not solve the world’s climate emergency, because that crisis is economic, not environmental. getAbstract recommends Victor’s sophisticated insights into the complicated world of climate-related international diplomacy.
