Sound, Fury and the Policy of Climate Change | Patrick J. Michaels | Cato Institute: Commentary: "If, by 2050, the U.S. reduces its per-capita emission of carbon dioxide to what it was at the end of the Civil War, and the rest of the developed world does similarly, prospective global warming would drop by a grand total of 7%, 100 years from now.
