by Tom S. Mullikin (Author)
America's heightened awareness of the phenomenon of global climate change has led to increasing pressure on the institutions of our society to react. Politicians are rushing to adopt any plan that demonstrates to voters that they care about greenhouse gases, without giving any serious consideration to the effect on total global greenhouse gas emissions. Tom Mullikin led a team of researchers, environmental experts, and policymakers on expeditions to Antarctica and Africa to study the effects of climate change on the polar and sub-Saharan regions. Accompanying him on the trip was Dr. Robert Thomas, Chair of the Department of Environmental Communications at Loyola University in New Orleans, and renowned environmental expert. What they saw in those regions was truly remarkable -- and disturbing. Global Solutions: Demanding Total Accountability for Climate Change reflects on these journeys, and examines the problems surrounding the implementation of sound social policy to address global climate change.
