The authors argue a carbon roadmap, driven by a simple rule of thumb or carbon law of halving emissions every decade, could catalyse disruptive innovation. A carbon law approach, say the international team of scientists, ensures that the greatest efforts to reduce emissions happens sooner not later and reduces the risk of blowing the remaining global carbon budget to stay below 2 C. The paper notes that a carbon law offers a flexible way to think about reducing carbon emissions.
The Carbon law is a powerful strategy and roadmap for ramping down emissions to zero so as to stay within the global carbon budget for stabilizing climate to less than 2 C above preindustrial levels. Joeri Rogelj, also at IIASA, said, The carbon law outlines a global path towards achieving climate and sustainability goals in broad yet quantitative terms. It sketches a general vision of rapid emission reductions in conjunction with the development of sustainable carbon dioxide removal options. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170323141338.htm
