Climate Change Reading Room Launched

The National Agricultural Law Center has launched a Climate Change Reading Room on the law center's website. The reading room, which can be accessed by clicking here, should be a timely resource for those following the climate change debate currently taking place in the halls of Congress, or for those interested in the legal history (both statutory and case law) of climate change issues. The reading room is a comprehensive compilation of electronic research resources accessible to all.

The following is a brief description of the kind of statutory information that is available in the reading room:

Global climate change is an area many state governments and the federal
government are working towards combating. Currently thirty-seven states and the
federal government have specific statutes to monitor and counter the effects of
global climate change. These statutes range from greenhouse gas monitoring to
the creation of regional carbon markets to carbon sequestration programs. This
compilation is provided as a researcher-friendly resource guide for examining
how states and federal government are combating global climate change.
