...global warming and laying out nightmare scenarios of the havoc climate change could wreak-the last chapter is comparatively optimistic. Drawing on the work of thousands of scientists vetted by officials from over 100 countries, the IPCC reported that future carbon emissions could be controlled using current technology like nuclear or renewable energy-and that it could be done without bankrupting the global economy. "Measures to reduce emissions can, in the main, be achieved at starkly low costs, especially when compared with the costs of inaction," said Achim Steiner, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

(The Libyan regime, caught red-handed dealing with Khan, abandoned its nuclear program and handed over the blueprint, together with other nuclear related technology, to the U.S., in exchange for improved relations with the West.)
