ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on (1) why and how policymakers have severely underestimated the long-term impacts of climate change, (2) how the carbon management mechanisms they have developed are ”awed and counterproductive, (3) how they could be corrected, (4) where the carbon can be most cost-effectively stored, (5) how quickly that could be done, and (6) the practical and policy actions needed to get there.
