Energy technologies are not enough to reduce carbon emissions
Current energy technologies are not enough to reduce carbon emissions to a level needed to lower the risks associated with climate change, New York University physicist Martin Hoffert concludes in an essay in the latest issue of the journal Science.
Many scientists have determined that in order to avoid the risks brought about by climate change, steps must be taken to prevent the mean global temperature from rising by more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
Current climate models indicate that achieving this goal will require limiting atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations ... |
