Delegates from around the world recently finished a two-week conference in Montreal, where they debated the next steps after the Kyoto Protocol. But as policymakers consider more drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, are they underestimating the economic effects of these regulations?

During today's OnPoint, Thorning explains ICCF's economic modelling and also talks about alternative policies to address global warming.
