The GCC emphasises that technological developments and new scientific insights have to be taken into account. Last but not least: the precautionary principle requires that potentially colossal damage be averted. That means that the relevant “rules” are not and should not be cast in stone (¶262). to avoid passing the 1.5C

Economic costs notwithstanding, the precautionary principle applied in cases like Pfizer Animal Health v. The principle is that uncertainty in scientific evidence does not justify a delay in measures to protect the environment.

31] Many energy experts are enthusiastic about solar panels, but new information has called the social and ethical value of the technology into question. Industrial solar and wind projects require between 300 and 400 times more land than nuclear plants. [29] 30] By contrast, today’s energy system requires just 0.5 5] Ran Fu et al., “US

In a series of posts (beginning here , and ending here ) last month, I outlined an approach to climate policy that emphasizes the role of subsidies in building political support and technological progress for climate policy. In doing so, I drew heavily on existing political science research and case studies from North America and Europe.
