Scientists have set out a simple, quantitative road map for tackling climate change, based on Moore's law, which governs exponential growth in computing processing power. The carbon version proposes halving carbon emissions every decade while doubling green energy over the same period, which would help governments around the world combat climate change. The plan also calls for an end to fossil fuel subsidies, a $50 per tonne price on University College London emissions and tighter rules on energy efficiency. However, Professor Chris Rapley, a climate scientist at CO2, warned the plan could be seen as too prescriptive for governments.
