For example, the global average effect of any change
in albedo from using solar power would be rather small
in comparison to mitigation of climate change
if that solar power is used (to displace fossil fuels) for a sufficient time period (example:
if a 10 % efficient PV panel with zero albedo (reflectivity for solar (SW) radiation) covered ground with an albedo of 25 — 30 %, the ratio of total
increased heating to electricity generation would be similar to that of many fuel - combusting or fission - powered power plants (setting aside inverter and grid
efficiency, etc., but still it would be similar).

The advantages of a comprehensive approach are: 1) it promotes economic
efficiency by allowing emission reductions
in the gases which are the least expensive to abate, or the substitution of
increased sinks for reducing emissions
if this is the least cost option; 2) it prevents switching form one form of activity which emits greenhouse gases to another that contributes as much,
if not more, to the problem of climate change; and 3) it provides an incentive to move science and technology forward.

In addition to providing good insight into the current state of the law, he makes the argument that it would be good for society, including employers,
