If the 2\u00b0C goal were truly sacrosanct, then it seems unreasonable to ignore approaches that are capable of limiting temperature change directly or of limiting concentrations directly, especially as the IPCC\u0027s analysis suggests that even with a turnaround in the success of emission reduction efforts, overshooting the 2\u00b0C goal is very unlikely.\u0026nbsp; Should efforts to reduce emissions continue to fall short, the case for considering these alternative approaches will only increase over time. The decision to use, or not to use, carbon and solar geoenginnering will have consequences, and our view is that these consequences should be evaluated and the results of such analyses used to justify these decisions.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis chapter is part of the Vox eBook tilted \u0022Toward a Workable and Effective Climate Regime,\u0022 which argues that the world needs a climate change regime that is both workable and effective \u003Cem\u003E\u2013\u003C\/em\u003E \u2018workable\u2019 in the sense that it can be accepted by sovereign states, and \u2018effective\u2019 in the sense that it ultimately stabilizes the global climate.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe entire book can be found online and downloaded for free \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.voxeu.org\/content\/towards-workable-and-effective-climate-regime\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.iac.gatech.edu\/people\/faculty\/cruz_1\u0022\u003EJuan Moreno-Cruz\u003C\/a\u003E, Assistant Professor in the School of Economics, recently published a book chapter titled \u0022The Alternatives to Unconstrained Climate Change: Emission Reductions Versus Carbon and Solar Geoengineering.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Juan Moreno-Cruz, Assistant Professor in the School of Economics, recently published a book chapter titled \u0022The Alternatives to Unconstrained Climate Change: Emission Reductions Versus Carbon and Solar Geoengineering.\u0022"}],"uid":"27365","created_gmt":"2015-11-16 13:51:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:19:58","author":"Jade Hill","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"407321":{"id":"407321","type":"image","title":"Juan Moreno-Cruz","body":null,"created":"1449254168","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 18:36:08","changed":"1475895132","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:52:12","alt":"Juan Moreno-Cruz","file":{"fid":"202141","name":"moreno-cruz_juan.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/moreno-cruz_juan_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/moreno-cruz_juan_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":4216745,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/moreno-cruz_juan_0.jpg?itok=pPjk81WP"}}},"media_ids":["407321"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"131","name":"Economic Development and Policy"}],"keywords":[{"id":"147991","name":"book chapter"},{"id":"831","name":"climate change"},{"id":"148011","name":"climate regime"},{"id":"148001","name":"eBook"},{"id":"107601","name":"Juan Moreno-Cruz"},{"id":"33721","name":"publication"},{"id":"167037","name":"school of economics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJade Hill, Communications Coordinator\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jade.hill@econ.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejade.hill@econ.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jade.hill@econ.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
