Ten recommendations for reducing carbon emissions

Abstract

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore testified about possible solutions to mitigate anthropogenic climate change at two 21 March hearings held before committees of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. His 10 recommendations to reduce U.S. carbon emissions: 1. Immediately freeze carbon dioxide emissions and then begin a program to reduce them by at least 90% by 2050. 2. Replace the payroll tax for Social Security and Medicare with a tax on pollution, particularly carbon dioxide.
