CBO Statement of Peter R. Orszag, Director, Issues in Climate Change, Presentation for the CBO Director’s Conference on Climate Change, November 16, 2007, November 16, 2007

  • “Global climate change is one of the nation’s most significant long-term policy challenges. Human activities are producing increasingly large quantities of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). The accumulation of those gases in the atmosphere is expected to have potentially serious and costly effects on regional climates throughout the world. The magnitude of such damage remains highly uncertain. But there is growing recognition that some degree of risk exists for the damage to be large and perhaps even catastrophic.”
