Requires the EPA Administrator, by 2025 and every five years thereafter, to review the standards for new covered EGUs and reduce the maximum carbon dioxide emission rate for new covered EGUs to a rate that reflects the degree of emission limitations achievable through the application of the best system of emission reduction that has been adequately demonstrated.

It could be argued that a society capable of achieving the kind of rates of emission reduction in the year 2100 that are assumed under these pathways would almost certainly be able to convert a static emissions floor into a decaying one if it were necessary to do so.

The enormous increase in the magnitude of the challenge that has been caused by delay given the limited carbon budget can be seen from a recent statement of Jim Hansen who said that «the required rate of emissions reduction would have been about 3.5 % per year if reductions had started in 2005 and continued annually thereafter, while the required rate of reduction, if commenced in 2020, will be approximately 15 % per year.

with its highly optimistic assumptions about the future availability of renewables, nuclear, and CCS, the mid-century carbon emission reduction goal could only be achieved if the annual growth in GDP per capita between now and 2050 were to slow to a rate of 1 % per year.

Delaying the peak year even further to 2020 could necessitate global emissions reduction rates of up to 9 % per year — i.e. reductions on an almost inconceivable scale, entailing technological feats and social sacrifices on a scale comparable to those of the Allied mobilization during the Second World War.26

Even with optimistic assumption about the peak year for global emissions and rates of emissions reductions thereafter, the best estimate is for warming to reach 4 °C in the 2070s or 2080s, well within the life - spans of children born today.

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).
