Lee Lane previously served as executive director of the Climate Policy Center, a policy research organization that analyzes climate policy and promotes economically efficient policy responses to the challenge of climate change. Mr. Lane is also the author of Strategic Options for Bush Administration Climate Policy (AEI Press, 2006). At AEI, he is researching the economic and political issues raised by geoengineering--that is, climate engineering technologies that may counteract global warming, thus allowing time to develop more efficient technology for reducing emissions.

Articles and Commentary [List all]

Although it creates only a slight reduction in the amount of solar energy absorbed by the Earth, solar radiation management should be a part of U.S. climate policy.

Though efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have faltered, there do exist other climate policy options that may offer timely and relatively cheap methods for offsetting some of the harmful effects of climate change.

A critical step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the introduction of new technologies for energy supply and use.

 
Books Strategic Options for Bush Administration Climate Policy

What new climate change policies should the federal government adopt?The authorexplores options that policymakers might consider, as well as the costs and benefits of current policies.

 
Events Smoke, Mirrors, and Greenhouse Gas Control

This AEI event will discuss the battle over greenhouse gas control bills. What are the cost implications? Are they likely to be effective?

Governing Geoengineering

This event will discuss who should set the rules for geoengineering, What should those rules permit or forbid, and how should they be enforced.

Geoengineering: A Revolutionary Approach to Climate Change

 
 
Speeches and Testimony Researching Solar Radiation Management as a Climate Policy Option

Although it creates only a slight reduction in the amount of solar energy absorbed by the Earth, solar radiation management should be a part of U.S. climate policy.

ACESA 2009 and the U.S. National Strategy for Dealing with Climate Change

The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 is an ambitious attempt to meet the very real challenges posed by greenhouse gases.

Statement to the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming

Real progress on climate policy will require many, many decades.
