Abstract

The present paper is a discussion on a single scientific economic measure for climate stabilization; called the Economics of 350. The need for stabilizing the atmospheric Co2 to 350 parts per million is felt more than ever by scientists. However, reducing consumption to that level is likely to have disastrous economic consequences. Present paper is an attempt to address the issue and build a sense of urgency for the policy makers to evaluate the cost benefit analysis of Economics of 350.

Keywords: 350 Economics, climate stabilization
