C. Nicolis,

Climate Change Policy and Economics

Ever since the realization, about 20 years ago, that the mild and predictable climate of the first half of our century was an anomaly within the climate's long and turbulent history, specialists, policy makers, and the general public feel increasingly concerned about the possible impacts of climatic change on an overpopulated and energy‐thirsty society. Yet for all its importance, the share of this field in modern scientific literature is surprisingly slim. In this respect, the present book, which compiles the lectures given at the first International School of Climatology organized under the auspices of Ettore Majorana Center and NATO at Erice, Italy, in March 1980 constitutes a welcome contribution.
