Global Warming : An International Issue

The present book is an effort in the direction to present a comprehensive text on the subject of global warming. It brings within its purview the issue of global warming in all its hues analyzing in detail the causes of global warming its dire consequences and the actions it calls for. The agenda has been to present the issue not as a localized one or as the responsibility of a few but as an international problem which calls for strengthened resolution on the part of the whole world to consider the various repercussions of global warming.

Of greater concern in the book is how the international community has already taken steps to mitigate the issue an overview of these steps and what more needs to be done regarding them. (jacket)
