Danger of Undermining Emissions Mitigation Efforts If politicians are led to believe that a low - cost technological fix can reduce or eliminate the need for politically difficult actions such as increasing the cost of carbon by cap and trade schemes or taxation, going against the wishes of powerful fossil energy corporations, and getting countries all around the world to agree on climate goals, it is likely to undermine their resolve to deal with the underlying cause of the problem by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

A Breakthrough analysis found that rebound effects as high as 60 percent (the IEA's high - end scenario) will have significant implications for global climate mitigation efforts, requiring as much as 13 percent more clean energy supply by 2035 to meet higher global energy demand — equivalent to the total energy consumption of 19 Australias.

I would also very much like to see some costings of the emissions pathway being championed by the Worldwatch Institute — costings both of the climate change impacts which would still occur, and of the efforts required to reduce emissions to the proposed degree — because I think this particular mitigation scenario can be as valuable in getting us on track as has been James Hansen's promotion of 350ppm as a target.
