Abstract
There is growing recognition in North America that action to combat the threat of global warming can no longer be postponed. With the Canadian and US economies so intimately linked by trade and facing sizable new economic challenges in the wake of the financial crisis, developing a coordinated response to climate policy is more important than ever. Both President Obama and Prime Minister Harper have expressed a willingness to work together on this issue. What form this effort takes and whether or not it succeeds remains to be seen.
