sustainable strategies for saving the tropical forests? : including the proceedings of an international conference held at the Royal Geographical Society, London 17-18th May 1990
1 online resource (293 pages) : illustrations (some color)
Tropical forests affect climate, and the removal of the forests will change climate. Or not? This book discusses basic questions on how far, if at all, tropical deforestation leads to climatic change. The question of this uncertainty is particularly addressed. One important consequence of the uncertainties of whether deforestation affects climate is how scientific findings best illuminate the policy-making process.
