while in the context
of the ongoing
climate debate we continue — albeit with some embarrassment — to employ the scientifically meaningless phrase «
climate change», we recognise that, in principle, a planetary warming to fend off otherwise imminent glacial inception, together with CO2 greening (the latter offsetting loss
of vegetation footprint, the only real environmental concern) is having
broad positive
impacts on society, including the global economy, natural resources, and human
health.
Original research presented within those categories comprised a
broad range
of environmental and resource economics topics, from the spatial dimensions
of water management in agriculture to how gas prices affect traffic speeding and the
health impacts of climate change.
