چکیده

Integrated assessment models of climate change typically analyze the case of a doubling of atmospheric CO2.over the pre-industrial concentration of about 270 ppm. This is a serious shortcoming since under a scenario in which all accessible fossil fuels are burned, atmospheric CO2 concentrations will more than quadruple. We introduce an analytical framework that endogenously accounts for potential climate change events related to this “mega-greenhouse” and examine economic implications of two alternative mitigation strategies: one in which only the rates of annual emissions are reduced, and one that places absolute limits on the total amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.
