Abstract
Global warming is a problem of international dimensions. One might therefore expect that our national government, which has responsibility for international relations, would have taken the lead in addressing this problem. But this has not happened. Instead, state and local governments, most notably California, have taken the lead. The initiatives of the states present interesting issues of federalism. I will address two such issues.
First, should the federal government, rather than the states, take the lead in addressing global warming? Second, what are the constitutional constraints on actions by the states in addressing global warming?
