Abstract

With Trump US voters elected a climate denier to the White House whose systematic dismantlement of Obama’s climate policies bucks a global trend to tackle this issue more seriously. Thanks to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change we have overwhelming evidence of rapidly growing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and their nefarious implications for the climate. Global warming, itself unevenly distributed, has already begun to intensify storms and droughts, make sea levels rise, melt glaciers, reduce biodiversity, and hamper agricultural yields. After a quarter of century of stop-go efforts to address this issue, the world community of nations finally decided in December 2015 at a meeting in Paris to address this issue in systemic fashion with a long-run plan for increasingly ambitious collective action—the Paris Climate Agreement.
