The fossil
fuel production projections from this study suggest that many of the IPCC fossil fuel projections appear overly optimistic.
Climate change is an important issue confronting society, and it is hoped that the work contained in this thesis will aid climate change modeling by focusing attention to realistic fossil
fuel production projections.

The model produces different jobs and growth
projections for a business - as - usual scenario with no technology breakthroughs or major new policies, and then generates different outcomes by factoring in new policies such as a national clean energy standards such as proposed by President Obama; increases in corporate average
fuel economy standards; tougher environmental controls on coal - fired power generators; extended investment and
production tax credits for clean energy sources and an expanded federal energy loan guarantee program.
Climate
projections calculated in this paper indicate that the future atmospheric CO2 concentration will not exceed 610 ppm in this century; and that the increase in global surface temperature will be lower than 2.6 DegC compared to pre-industrial level even if there is a significant increase in the
production of non-conventional fossil
fuels.
With liquid
fuels production growing at a rate of 1 percent per year over the
projection period while demand grows more slowly at 0.2 percent per year, supply can overtake demand, EIA figures (Table A21) show — provided trade flows remain open.
