How We Curb Global Warming by Cutting Carbon

But scientists also say we can curb global warming and its consequences—if we take

bold, comprehensive actions now that add up to an 80 percent cut in carbon emissions

by 2050. That's a do-able 2 percent cut a year for each of the next 40 years.

To reach our goal, to build a cleaner, smarter, and safer energy and economic future and

rise to the most urgent challenge of our generation, we must all be part of the solution.

You, me, businesses, and government—we all have a role to play.

To cut carbon emissions 2 percent a year for each of the next 40 years means we must

start right now to make different, better decisions about the energy we use at home, at

work, and as a nation.
