Is the 2°C World a Fantasy? by Jeff Tolleson Nov. 24, 2015
... The idea of limiting global warming to 2°C dates back to 1975, when economist William Nordhaus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, proposed that more than 2 or 3° of warming would push the planet outside the temperature range of the past several hundred thousand years. In 1996, the EU adop ...

Economics of climate change mitigation
This article is about the economics of climate change mitigation. Mitigation of climate change involves actions that are designed to limit the amount of long-term climate change (Fisher et al.., 2007:225). Mitigation may be achieved through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or through the enhancement of sinks that absorb GHGs, for example forests.
