As Berkeley law professor Andrew Guzman has observed, “developing a reputation for compliance with international law allows states to capture larger gains from international cooperation.”

A school that’s invested in training students for international law will likely offer a variety of courses within this topic, experts say. At Berkeley, students can take classes such as public international law, human rights and humanitarian law, international trade, international investment law or myriad other classes, Guzman says. It all depends on what kind of law career they want to have and their interests.

The word “tax” is taboo in this Congress, at least in the House. But a carbon tax should be welcomed because it gets directly at the problem, carbon. It will change behavior—from consumers to businesses—without restrictive or cumbersome regulation. It will reduce the use of fossil fuels, encourage the development of renewables, and generate revenue that can be used to reduce the deficit, fund other programs, or be reimbursed to the public.

“It is certainly a very large settlement for this sort of case,” said Andrew Bradt, assistant professor of law and an expert on complex and multi-district litigation at the University of California, Berkeley…. “Toyota had advanced potentially viable defenses here, but what it signals is that rather than face the uncertainty of litigation, it made the most economic sense for them to obtain closure through the settlement.”

“Eventually, in this century, a very large share of [glaciers and snowpack] will shrink to the point of no longer being of value as water-storage tools. For the first time in human history you have cut off that water supply, or at least dramatically diminished its value. More flooding in wet periods. More drought in dry periods. California’s going to have a water crisis by 2050.”

“We know where people go when they lose their land: They go to cities, and they go to refugee camps,” Guzman says. “So the Bangladeshi cities that remain are going to be overrun and crumbling. Just think of the sewage system alone.” Lest you think no one has considered what might happen next, in recent years India has increased security along the border with Bangladesh…. “So how much violence are you prepared to use to keep that border secure? It’s not at all clear to me that the border can remain intact.”

Guzman’s insights about the vulnerabilities of states and societies to the competing needs of their populations expose the other major pressure point in the generally optimistic picture presented by the three agency reports: the mounting expectations of millions of new middle-class consumers in search of the goods and amenities promised by years of mass-market advertising and flamboyant political pronouncements.
