How much will it cost to fix the climate? The numbers vary.

Mitigation of Global warming is going to add costs to our every day life. Here's what the US EPA estimates is the added costs for the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008.

Among its findings: a gross domestic product loss of $151 billion to $210 billion in 2020 and $631 billion to $669 billion per year in 2030; 1.2 million to 1.8 million fewer jobs in 2020, and 3 million to 4 million fewer in 2030; annual household income losses of $739 to $2,927 in 2020 and $4,022 to $6,752 in 2030; electricity price increases of 28 percent to 33 percent by 2020 and 101 percent to 129 percent by 2030; and gasoline price increases of 20 percent to 69 percent by 2020 and 77 percent to 145 percent by 2030.

These are just the costs added by the bill.

Mitigation costs are seldom discussed, but it is obviously an important issue. Enacting Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act means that by 2030, just 22 years away, the estimated increase of 4/10 of a degree Celsius will result in increased gasoline prices from todays ~$3.00 to $5.31 to $7.35. Those prices do not include inflation and the cumulative costs from other mitigation efforts here and in countries supplying the raw resources and associated finished products.
