Although it is important to
reduce the remaining
climate uncertainties, such as the magnitude
of the
impacts of short - lived pollutants, it does not
change the fact that CO2 is very likely the driving force behind the current

of CO2 in the atmosphere from pre-industrial levels, the planet will likely warm in the range
of 2 to 4.5 °C.
Hence,

Abstract: An evaluation
of analyses sponsored by the predecessor to the U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
of the
global impacts of climate change under various mitigation scenarios (including CO2 stabilization at 550 and 750 ppm) coupled with an examination
of the relative costs associated with different schemes to either mitigate
climate change or
reduce vulnerability to various
climate - sensitive hazards (namely, malaria, hunger, water shortage, coastal flooding, and losses
of global forests and coastal wetlands) indicates that, at least for the next few decades, risks and / or threats associated with these hazards would be lowered much more effectively and economically by
reducing current and future vulnerability to those hazards rather than through stabilization.
The report, which is the product

Too bad, as the New York Times point out, that even though natural gas does have a far less
impact on
global warming than does coal, if we're going to
reduce carbon emissions by 2050 enough to prevent the worst
