Editorial Reviews

"I am recommending this book because it presents a side of the global climate change story that is not often heard or discussed in the popular press, even the press that is sympathetic to the realities of global climate change. The stories about individual lives and communities directly damaged and/or destroyed by the current methods employed by the world's carbon markets need a larger audience if our students are to make informed decisions as citizens about future social and economic policies."
