[ Abstract ]The atmosphere’s concentration of carbon
dioxide (CO2) has increased by
more than 30 percent over the last 250
years, largely due to human activity. Two-thirds
of that rise has occurred in the past 50 years.1
Unless there is a change, the world will see
much higher CO2 levels in the future—levels
that are predicted to lead to damaging climate
change. Fortunately, many carbon mitigation
strategies are available to set the world on a new
path, one that leads to a lower rate of CO2 emissions
than is currently expected.
The environmental community is currently
playing a prominent role in the development
of the CO2 policies that will elicit these strategies.
Until a few years ago, the environmental
community was almost exclusively interested
in policies that promote renewable energy,
conservation, and natural sinks. More recently,
it has begun to explore alliances with traditional
energy supply industries on the grounds
that to establish the pace required to achieve
environmental goals, parallel action on many
fronts is required.
