| Summary: | Analyzes how world economic growth and development will affect proposals to constrain total annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Presents scenarios illustrating levels of greenhouse gas emissions if the world population was at a benchmark established by countries that have the highest per capita Gross Domestic Products with the lowest intensities of greenhouse gas emissions combined, and examines implications of a world achieving the benchmark represented by these countries. Discusses possible outcomes from pursuing competing goals, including economic growth and development versus constraining greenhouse gases. Includes tables. |
