Abstract
"After years of inaction, the possibility of substantive federal and international climate policy is finally in sight. With so much time already squandered, insufficient action today will foreclose the ability to prevent catastrophe tomorrow. If we are to avoid saddling future generations with extreme economic and environmental hardships, emerging climate policy must ensure a high probability of keeping future warming below dangerous levels. In order to ensure that future generations are left with a functioning planet, climate policies must be established to immediately execute an emission reduction pathway consistent with stabilization at CO2 levels of no greater than 350 ppm. " (P. 1, 10)
