The global warming debate is now in the forefront of public awareness. Although the issue is still a controversial one - provoking heated argument over cause, effect and response - it is no longer possible to ignore either the threat of global warming or the likely consequences. This volume explores the profound impact that the International Convention on Global Warming, due to be signed in 1992, will have on all aspects of the world's economy. Manufacturing, transport and energy industries in particular will have to undergo a radical transformation in order to adapt to the new regimes being proposed.
