About this title

Review:

"This is a book written by a master of the field after more than twenty years of research on the global warming topic."--David Victor, Director of the Laboratory on International Law and Regulation, University of California at San Diego--David Victor (04/08/2013)

""The Climate Casino" is one of the most important books ever written about global warming....it deals with the problem (climate change and its consequences including economic) and with the solution (primarily a suitable price for carbon). It does so with wonderful clarity."--Thomas E. Lovejoy, George Mason University and The H. John Heinz Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment--Thomas Lovejoy (05/03/2013)

"Have you ever wondered why environmental politics became so bitterly divided along partisan party lines? Why does the left believe that climate change will harm us, while the right is certain that technological innovation will prevail? Paul Sabin's smart, compelling analysis in "The Bet" helps us understand these ideological divides. Beautifully written, non-partisan, and filled with surprising insights, "The Bet "is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand modern environmental politics."--Nancy Langston, author of "Toxic Bodies: DES and the Lessons of History"--Nancy Langston (05/03/2013)

""The Climate Casino" is a tour de force and will make a real impact in the popular literature on climate change...it brings together all of the important strands of the debate...the book is without peer."--Charles Kolstad, Stanford University--Charles Kolstad (05/23/2013)

Through insightful analyses and prescriptions grounded in economics, he proposes ways to meet the immense challenge of slowing future changes. A great book!"--Ralph J. Cicerone, President, National Academy of Sciences--Ralph J. Cicerone (10/23/2014)

"Nordhaus is the world s clearest, best informed and most serious thinker on climate change policy. There is more insight and good sense advice in this volume than in many libraries. This book should be as central to climate policy debates as climate change is to humanity s future." Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard University--Lawrence H. Summers (06/04/2013)"
