Climate Change in America: Ecosystems and Policy

By Oliver Brooks

Climate Change in America: Ecosystems and Policy by Oliver Brooks is a timely and incisive exploration of the United States' role in the global climate crisis. Drawing from science, history, and policy analysis, Brooks reveals the intricate web connecting environmental, economic, and social systems - both within America and across the globe .The book journeys from the science underpinning climate change to the endangered biodiversity of America, the disproportionate risks faced by vulnerable populations, and the stark regional variations in climate impacts . It examines decades of federal and state environmental policy, highlighting the differences in climate strategies between Republican and Democratic administrations, while also considering the country's evolving position in international negotiations .Brooks argues for a fundamentally global lens, showing that American climate policy is inseparable from international cooperation, equity principles, and reciprocal learning between nations Through a balanced yet urgent narrative, he underscores the pressing need for transparent leadership, public engagement, and accurate media representation of climate challenges .For policymakers, researchers, activists, and concerned citizens, Climate Change in America offers both an unflinching diagnosis of the problem and a roadmap for collaborative, effective solutions. This is more than a call to action - it is a guide to aligning domestic priorities with the global urgency of our shared future.
