"Originally published in Japanese in 1994 as NISANKA TANSO MONDIA USO TO HONTO by AGNE SHOFU Publishing Inc., Tokyo" on verso.

"The Carbon Dioxide Problem addresses the very complex matter of limiting CO[subscript 2] concentrations to levels that pose little environmental risk without devastating national economies or standards of living." "This timely book from Japan offers solutions to the global warming problem that lie in the development of comprehensive energy and environmental policies that emphasize the need for both greater energy efficiency and an increased role for renewable energy sources. Japan's experience is particularly relevant, due to its successes in reducing its overdependence on foreign energy supplies, which has subsequently put Japan at the forefront of energy conservation and anti-pollution technologies."--BOOK JACKET.
