"As the Kyoto Treaty enters into force in 2005, there is great interest and concern over how best to consider whether the United States should be taking serious measures to address climate change as we move forward," said Andy Hoffman, associate professor at U-M's Ross School of Business and School of Natural Resources & Environment. "The challenge is to move beyond climate change as an environmental issue and also consider it as an issue of global trade, jobs and labor, energy and national security."
