Abstract

In the two years since the publication of the last volume of this series, the planet has witnessed some devastating environmental events some of which can be attributed to human causes. However, we have also seen the world uniting (except mainly for the United States and Australia) to reduce greenhouse gases and hopefully slowdown global warming. Recognizing that saving the planet from environmental degradation depends on the concerted effort of all countries and entities is a major first step in this rescue effort. Depending on the good graces of countries and companies to voluntarily join this effort however, we believe, is a losing proposition.
