Climate: a hot policy topic

Climate is a hot policy topic.  What do we do to reduce pollution and carbon emission?  At what cost?  What are the alternatives to fossil fuel?  Which alternative would have the best possible outcome relative to cost?  A lot progresses have been made during the last 10 years -- efforts by industrialized nations to cut emission, private entrepreneurships to mass produce electric cars, public education about recycling.  But a lot more need to be done.  These progresses encompass one key accomplishment -- change of our behavior.  But we need to do more and learn more.

The following two sites provide resourceful information on climate issues.
