Abstract

In this issue of Joule, Way et al. use data-driven probabilistic technology forecasts to show that rapid global decarbonization until 2070 is likely to have lower costs than no decarbonization. Besides good news for climate policy, Way et al. reopen the discussion on probabilistic methods in energy and integrated assessment modeling.
