Starting from the challenging assertion that the Kyoto Protocol is failing, Gwyn Prins and Steve Rayner argue that it's time to adopt a more radical approach to climate policy. Their suggested alternatives include a bottom-up approach to emissions trading, a massive publicly funded research effort in energy technologies and increased investment in adaptation.
