Description

Having been asked to address the question of 'A low carbon future for the industrialized countries', I thought i might be useful to break it down into four specific questions: Could there be one? (technical feasibility). What might be one? (scenario projections). How might there be one? (policy/implementation); Will there be one? (political feasibility). This paper sketches some of the issues on each question, concentrating upon the CO2 emissions from fossil fuels which form the core problem in industrialized countries. (au) 14 refs
