Zedillo was president of Mexico from 1994 to 2000, and is now a professor in international economics and politics at Yale University as well as an adjunct professor of forestry and environmental studies. He has edited this collection of essays from noted climate policy experts regarding global warming and the call for "global collective action." Using the policies defined by the Kyoto Protocol, these essays focus on what we know about global warming at this point in history, and what we need to know by the time the Kyoto policies expire in 2012. The essayists range from noted economists to business professors to Nobel Prize winners who are also members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc.
