DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n"The fact is that American taxpayers are paying for the costs of 
 climate change now. These costs don't hit us all at once but sporadically, 
 in different places and at different times. They don't feel like a carbon 
 tax, though they amount to one. Every time we use fossil fuels, we increase 
 our tax burden, a burden that unfolds like a sequence of trap doors, just 
 like climate change itself." ~ Mark Shapiro\n\n\n\n“The ground is 
 shifting beneath our feet," declares author Mark Shapiro.  Mark explains 
 how he reacted to an oil spill from the tanker Prestige along the coast of 
 Galicia in 2002 devastated a nearby town's economy and cost billions in 
 cleanup expenses. From the agricultural fields of California to the Amazon 
 rainforest, from the export powerhouses of China to the bizarre world of 
 carbon traders, Mark tells the story of how profoundly climate change is 
 shifting the economic landscape.  Mark explores how some new powers are 
 rising and others are falling as the world struggles to contend with the 
 fundamental economic fact of our time, the rising price of 
 carbon.\n\n\n\n\nMark Schapiro writes about the intersection of the 
 environment, economics, and political power. Mark teaches journalism at 
 UC-Berkeley and at the Monterey Institute of International 
 Studies.\n\n\nNeil deGrasse Tyson\n"In his powerful new book Carbon Shock, 
 Mark Schapiro transcends standard discussions about the well-known culprits 
 and ramifications of climate change and takes us on a harrowing, 
 international exploration of the universal economic costs of carbon 
 emissions. In his path-breaking treatise, Schapiro exposes the 
 multinational corporate obfuscation of these costs; the folly of localized 
 pseudo-solutions that spur Wall Street trading but don't quantify financial 
 costs or public risks, solve core problems, or provide socially cheaper and 
 environmentally sounder practices; and the laggard policies of the US, 
 Russia and China relative to the EU in fashioning longer-term remedies. Not 
 only does Schapiro compel the case for a global effort to thwart the joint 
 economic and environmental plundering of our planet in this formidable 
 book, but he expertly outlines the way to get there." ~ Nomi Prins, author 
 of All the Presidents' Bankers and It Takes a Pillage\nSource: COMMONWEALTH
