Summary

With global warming a major environmental concern, this compelling volume of writings explains the threat posed by increasing greenhouse gases and other substances affecting the earth, whether natural or man-made. Other articles touch upon the United States decision to opt out of the Kyoto Protocol and the increased exposure of environmental organizations. By approaching the issue from a variety of important viewpoints, the author puts a face on a troubling, important topic.
