Item #d91aug14

"Climate: Economic Models and Policy on Global Warming," A. Miller (Ctr. Global Change, Univ. Maryland, College Pk. MD 20742), Environ., 33(6), 3-5; 43-44, July-Aug. 1991.

Discusses in detail key assumptions and characteristics of models used.

"A Message to Executives and Shareholders of E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Co. and Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd.," P. McCully, The Ecologist, 21(3), 114-116, May-June 1991. These two firms must reign in their plans to produce CFCs and ozone-depleting CFC substitutes, especially in light of new evidence of ozone depletion announced in April, or be held accountable by the public.
