Environmental Impact Statements And Climate Change, David Wirth, Glenn Prickett
David A. Wirth
Recent demands by atmospheric scientists and policy makers for immediate, comprehensive, and effective responses to the threat of global climate change have focused political attention on policies and laws that affect the quality of the environment.

The proposed treaty would require reducing the global output of CO2 substantially, while committing developed countries to …
