Journal Article
Farewell to Fossil Fuels?
2010
Overview
Barring new CO 2 sources could curb climate change, but won't solve energy problems. One concrete goal adopted by some policy-makers is to reduce the risks associated with climate change by preventing the mean global temperature from rising by more than 2°C above preindustrial levels ( 1 ). Climate models indicate that achieving this goal will require limiting atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations to less than 450 parts per million (ppm), a level that implies substantial reductions in emissions from burning fossil fuels ( 2 , 3 ). So far, however, efforts to curb emissions through regulation and international agreement haven't worked ( 4 ); emissions are rising faster than ever, and programs to scale up “carbon neutral” energy sources are moving slowly at best ( 5 ). On page 1330 of this issue, Davis et al. ( 6 ) offer new insights into just how difficult it will be to say farewell to fossil fuels.
