Early policy wins for direct air capture could provide an important entry point for larger carbon capture and negative emissions policy efforts in the future (Stephens, 2009).

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.

In Issues, a pioneer in geoengineering has laid out the framework for a comprehensive US research plan, saying it should be part of a coherent climate policy agenda that includes vigorous support for climate science, increases efforts to cut emissions, helps the most vulnerable populations to adapt, develops negative emission technologies, and renews a commitment to growing international governance on climate matters.

* 2 Adrian Whitehead (Save the Planet) platform includes: We are the only party to run a comprehensive range of policies that seek to reduce our emissions to a net negative over ten years, and to draw down past emissions.

For example, theory and bottom up modelling suggest that some energy efficiency policies can deliver CO2 emission reductions at negative cost, but we need ex ‐ post policy evaluation to establish whether they really do and whether the measures are as effective as predicted by ex ‐ ante assessments.

Negative emission technologies assessed in the report Update on global greenhouse gas emissions This year, the Emissions Gap Report includes an assessment of the emissions associated with the Nationally Determined Contributions and current policies of each of the G20 members, including the Europeemissions This year, the Emissions Gap Report includes an assessment of the emissions associated with the Nationally Determined Contributions and current policies of each of the G20 members, including the EuropeEmissions Gap Report includes an assessment of the emissions associated with the Nationally Determined Contributions and current policies of each of the G20 members, including the Europeemissions associated with the Nationally Determined Contributions and current policies of each of the G20 members, including the European Union.

The difference between Professor Nordhaus's optimal carbon tax policy and a fifty - year delay policy is insignificant economically or climatologically in view of major uncertainties in (1) future economic growth (including reductions in carbon emissions intensity); (2) the physical science (e.g., the climate sensitivity); (3) future positive and negative environmental impacts (e.g., the economic «damage function»); (4) the evaluation of long - term economic costs and benefits (e.g., the discount rate); and (5) the international political process (e.g., the impact of less than full participation).

IMO, the effort should be transferred from discussing temperatures ad nauseam (which is only relevant to reducing the uncertainty in just one of the four key inputs to cost - benefit analyses) to working on a robust policy — i.e. a «no regrets» policy (one that will cut global GHG emissions at no cost or negative cost).

New York State energy planning based on the Reforming the Energy Vision goal to change the energy system of New York to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80 % from 1990 levels by 2050 is trying to choose between many expensive policy options like pricing carbon in the electric sector while at the same time attempting to understand which one (or what mix) will be the least expensive and have the fewest negative impacts on the existing system.
