Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Carbon Budget: Climate Change Advisory Council

We need to differentiate. The "with additional measures" scenario in the report does, as the Deputy says, reach 23%. The EPA also says in the report that quite a number of measures in the climate action plan are not included in the "with additional measures" scenario because the EPA does not have enough specific information to properly quantify them. I think the EPA made a statement along the lines of it being a conservative estimate that the inclusion of these additional measures would get the numbers to about 43% below-----
