Summary:

Reviews provisions of S. 2191, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008, to establish mandatory cap on emissions from covered sectors and allow trading of emission permits among covered and non-covered entities. Examines six studies that project costs and benefits of S.2191 until 2030 or 2050. Reviews limitations of models in predicting future climate change costs, likelihood for more noise in greenhouse gas reduction cost estimates, measurement of noise, results for S. 2191, and related issues.
