Drawing on case studies of past environmental debates such as those over acid rain and ozone depletion, science policy experts Roger Pielke Jr. and Daniel Sarewitz argue that once next generation technologies are available that make meaningful action on climate change lower - cost, then much of the argument politically over scientific uncertainty is likely to diminish.26 Similarly, research by Yale University's Dan Kahan and colleagues suggest that building political consensus on climate change will depend heavily on advocates for action calling attention to a diverse mix of options, with some actions such as tax incentives for nuclear energy, government support for clean energy research, or actions to protect cities and communities against climate risks, more likely to gain support from both Democrats and Republicans.

Thinking about the problem in terms of temperature increase for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (which we will probably exceed with current policies and energy trends), even studies that reinforce the skeptical narrative of low mean climate sensitivity leaves some chance of warming greatly exceeding international goals and historical boundaries (say a 5 percent chance of warming exceeding 4 °C).

Prior positions include advising the University of California on federal energy and climate policy, directing research on low - carbon fuels and vehicles at UC Davis» Institute of Transportation Studies, and as an engineer and then manager for Ford Motor Company.

In a study released just hours before President Obama's speech, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), CalCEF and the Climate Policy Initiative highlighted the interplay between state and federal policy, but also showcased how moves by states — including aggressive renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and green banks — are pushing renewable investment foPolicy Initiative highlighted the interplay between state and federal policy, but also showcased how moves by states — including aggressive renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and green banks — are pushing renewable investment fopolicy, but also showcased how moves by states — including aggressive renewable portfolio standards (RPS) and green banks — are pushing renewable investment forward.

A large percentage of the scientists who contributed to the studies of temperature and climate variations and greenhouse gas atmospheric concentrations behind the «Global Warming» political movement, disagree with the conclusions that have been drawn from their work by non-scientific hacks with an «agenda» and a stake in the game (Like making billions from the sale of carbon credits or gaining vast powers to control the energy policies of countries).

In a study of energy - climate legislation last year, the nonpartisan Institute for Policy Integrity found that the House bill would generate between $ 750 billion and $ 1 trillion in total benefits between 2012 and 2050.

With concerns over climate change and health impacts of air pollution growing and due to cost reductions in renewable technology, similar developments are taking place in many parts of the world, making the German experience an interesting case study for energy policy in other countries.
