520    Climate change is profoundly altering our world in ways 
       that pose major risks to human societies and natural 
       systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are 
       rolling the global-warming dice, warns economist William 
       Nordhaus. But there is still time to turn around and walk 
       back out of the casino, and in this essential book the 
       author explains how. Bringing together all the important 
       issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes 
       the science, economics, and politics involved-and the 
       steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming. 
       Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and 
       taking care to present different points of view fairly, he
       discusses the problem from start to finish: from the 
       beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy
       use, to the end, where societies employ regulations or 
       taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases 
       responsible for climate change. Nordhaus offers a new 
       analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto 
       Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how new
       approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most 
       effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a 
       defining problem of our times and lays out the next 
       critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global 
       warming
