If the relatively rich participating countries want to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, they will have to pay at least some poor countries to reduce their emissions. Achievement of substantial reduction in this way implies international transfers of wealth… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share Image
Kyoto is likely to yield far less than the targeted emissions reduction. That failure will most likely be papered over with creative accounting, shifting… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share Image
The impact of the Kyoto Protocol on global temperature is quite modest, especially for the first century. The reduction in global mean temperature in the Annex I case relative to the reference in 2100 is 0.13ºC; this compares with a difference of 0.17ºC from the Kyoto Protocol calculated by Wigley. The temperature reduction in the optimal run is essentially the… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share

The different policies reduce damages by only a modest amount. Indeed, one of the surprises is how little the policies affect the damages from… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share Image
It will be nearly impossible to slow warming appreciably without condemning much of the world to poverty unless energy sources that emit little or… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share Image
With each passing year the difficulty of meeting any fixed quantitative target increases progressively. Moreover, plausible estimates of when the Protocol would go into… — Henry Sylvester Jacoby Copy Share Image
