Abstract in HTML and technical report in HTML and PDF available on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change website (http://mit.edu/globalchange/www/) The current misplaced focus on short-term climate policies is a product both of domestic political exigencies and badly flawed technical analyses. A prime example of the latter is a recent U.S. Department of Energy study, prepared by five national laboratories. The 5-Labs study assumes —- incorrectly —- that technical solutions are readily at hand. Worse, advocates of short-term emissions targets under the Framework Convention on Climate Change are using this study to justify the subsidy of existing energy technologies —- diverting resources from the effective long-term technology response that will be needed if the climate picture darkens. 2003-10-24T14:56:54Z 2003-10-24T14:56:54Z 1998-11 no. 43 http://mit.edu/globalchange/www/abstracts.html#a43 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/3604 eng Report no. 43 16 p. 47918 bytes application/pdf application/pdf MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change |
