The Climate Casino

William Nordhaus is the President Elect of the American Economic Association.  He has written a book on the science, economics and politics of climate change.  It is entitled The Climate Casino and it will be released this fall.  It will receive a lot of attention because of his position and his experience in many of the areas that are involved in climate change.  It will include his recommendations on how to deal with one of the most important issues of our time.  I have posted the intro to his book for those who are interested in the high stakes game that has been underway for many years without much impact.
