Given the threat of runaway global warming, adopting a “minimax-regret” strategy is the best policy response: aim to stabilize levels close to present levels. This requires accelerating levels. These targeting technologies that radically reduce marginal costs fought emissions control. Making severe emissions cuts less burdensome would reinforce efforts to achieve that goal by “cap-and-trade” programmes and carbon taxes. The global community should commit itself to making major, coordinated investments in a diversified portfolio of climate change R&D, and to providing global access to the emerging technologies.
