In Argument in the Greenhouse, the authors delve into the pressing issue of climate change, examining policies that can effectively address greenhouse gas emissions. Covering both the developing and developed worlds, the book identifies strategies that not only aim to curb emissions but also facilitate international and domestic support for realistic agreements. The authors emphasize the urgency of implementing these policies to prevent further global warming, raising critical questions about the feasibility and timing of these interventions.

The text uniquely integrates political and legal considerations with applied economic analysis, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the broader political economy surrounding climate change. By addressing key issues such as costs, timing, ecological tax reform, and the evolution of international agreements, Argument in the Greenhouse places these topics firmly within the current legal and political context. This approach allows for a nuanced discussion of various policy proposals, informed by state-of-the-art economic techniques.
