SLOWING GLOBAL WARMING: A WORLDWIDE STRATEGY

Abstract

This paper reviews the evidence for global warming and the greenhouse effect, then outlines a credible global warming action plan. The author sees two key elements of such a plan: (1) reversing the destruction of the world's tropical forests; and (2) eliminating the production and use of chlorofluorocarbons within the next decade. While the challenge is a daunting one, the author's opinion is that climate change is a problem with which humanity still has the ability to cope. However, he believes that time is short if we are to avoid a cataclysmic warming. Section headings include the following: In Defense of the Atmosphere; The Threat of Climate Change; Cooling the Greenhouse; The Shape of a New Energy Future; A Greenhouse Policy Agenda; and The International Challenge.
