Conclusions There is considerable uncertainty about future growth but, the scenario shown here is plausible, consistent with current observations and historical experience If developing countries continue to grow along this baseline path, aggressive stabilization targets quickly become impossible to meet (without overshoot) Annex B countries must find a way to engage China Electric Power Research Institute, Inc.
