"This book is an update to climate change laws in the U.S. The legal landscape is complex, unstable, and expanding. Scientists continue to publish new findings, policy makers regularly adopt new regulations, and petitioners file new litigation, nationwide and around the world. Most of it is completely new, and the few chapters carried over from the second edition have been thoroughly updated"--Provided by publisher.
