Carbon dioxide and intergenerational choice
探讨如何根据伦理信念解决二氧化碳问题，认为国际共识难以达成，建议推迟决策等待更准确的研究，若接受现有科学证据并平等评估后代，则当前最优策略是尽可能限制排放。
Depending on ethical beliefs, different decisions emerge for resolving the carbon dioxide (CO/sup 2/) issue. It is doubtful that an international consensus can be reached on a correct ethical criterion. Perhaps the best strategy would be to delay acceptance of either a particular set of beliefs or the existing scientific evidence and wait for more-accurate and conclusive research to emerge. If the scientific evidence is accepted as valid, and all future generations that will exist are evaluated equally, then the optimal current regulatory strategy is to restrict, as much as possible, current emissions of CO/sup 2/. 17 references, 2 figure, 1 table.
