The Costs of Climate Change Mitigation Innovations

The notion that humanity may be too late to alter climate change could potentially lead to fear and therefore the advocacy of implementing radical strategies and/or hastening the execution of certain measures to the extreme. The bottom line is that we do not want todays' solutions to become tomorrow's problems.
