Emissions Mitigation and Climate Stabilization

Speaker: Jae Edmonds, Chief Scientist, Joint Global Change Research Institute, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Location: Princeton University
Date: Apr 22, 2008
Jae Edmonds argues that climate stabilization is feasible but will require a fundamental change to the global energy system that can only be achieved by applying an across-the-board price to carbon emissions.

Jae Edmonds is a senior staff scientist and technical leader of economic programs at the Joint Global Change Research Institute. He is the principal investigator for the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program. Dr. Edmonds is well known for his contributions to the integrated assessment of climate change and the examination of interactions among energy, technology, policy, and the environment. He has published extensively on global change topics through his books, papers, and presentations. He has served as a lead author for all three major assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and numerous interim assessment reports.




The "Inside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Science, Policy and Politics" lecture series is co-sponsored by the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (WWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)

Love it!!

Great video -- keep it up! We need to invest more in Green industries but in California, but prop 23 is a threat to those investments. Prop 23 is down in the polls, but the Yes on 23 campaign just got a new influx of hot, anonymous cash, so we'll need to fend them off in the home stretch to Election Day.

Hit me back if you'd like to talk Prop 23. We're coming out with a bunch of great No on Prop 23 videos soon!

The audio quality is hopeless to my ear - I just can't make out what is being said. It looks like a bunch of recordings made by uchannel around this time in 2008 were made with incorrect microphone settings. Hopefully more use of better recording methods (e.g. clip-on microphones) was/will be used after this time.
