Just before Cancun, FORES, a Swedish research institute that appears to have a significant footprint, published the second edition of a proposal which they called A Bretton Woods for the Climate. It’s book length, and interesting in a number of ways, not the least of which is the uses to which it puts the Greenhouse Development Rights approach. More generally, it deserves real respect for the depth of its commitment to both ethics and realism, and for its intellectual seriousness. This being the second edition, the authors invited comments, and received two. The first is from Harvard’s Robert N. Stavins and the second is from us, the GDRs authors group. Our comment begins on page 191.
