Teaser:
From the introduction: "How society responds to climate change has extremely important implications for the future of social and economic development. For some, the potential threats posed by a warmer climate are regarded as necessitating significant action now, particularly to reduce the level of human-produced carbon dioxide emissions. For others, the economic consequences of such actions are regarded as being far more harmful to the future well-being of people than the possible impacts of climate change and a major hindrance to the ability of future generations to respond to the environmental changes that they encounter."
