NRDC’s Switchboard blog picked up on a recent study put out by the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University. From the study -
ACES Puts World on Course to Avoid the Worst Impacts of Global Warming
Scientists at Duke University have made an analysis of how the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) will affect global emissions of heat-trapping gases and global temperatures, given reasonable assumptions about how U.S. leadership will influence policies adopted by other major countries. They conclude that ACES can help drive a global policy that would stabilize carbon dioxide concentrations below 450 parts per million and limit global temperatures increases to less than 2 degrees above 1990 levels.
The analysis (pdf) is found here.
