Washington Post endorses IEA policy recommendations to keep climate goals alive

The Washington Post's editorial board urged US policy makers to adopt the policy recommendations in the World Energy Outlook's Special Report Redrawing the Energy-Climate Map. Noting the report's warning that CO₂ emissions in 2012 were the highest yet, the newspaper’s editorial asked, "Forget for a moment the ideal or rational response; what’s the bare minimum global leaders could do? The IEA had some useful, if modest, suggestions." After summarising the recommendations, the editors concluded, "In the United States at least, those policies seem achievable, even without agreement among politicians on the scale of the climate problem."
