Norman Moss postulates a US senator in the year 2060 sponsoring a bill to
allow the President to take military action against any state emitting high
levels of carbon into the atmosphere. His Managing the Planet is not so

caused to the global environment by the profligate use of resources. He sees
cause for optimism in growing awareness of danger, success of international
agreements and technological change. Published by Earthscan, £16.99, ISBN
