Over the past three decades energy policy has increasingly become determined by public concern about the impact of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions on future climate. The message that has received wide coverage is that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will lead to a significant increase in global temperature. The alleged danger is that the climate system might pass a tipping point and there will be irreversible climate change.
The message is not new and has its origins in the evolution of understanding of the climate system over the 19th and 20th centuries.
