From page 269...
... This study will: • Evaluate a range of greenhouse gas stabilization targets and describe the types and scales of impacts likely associated with different ranges, including discussion of the associated uncertainties, timescale of impacts, and potential serious or irreversible impacts.1 This study will focus on evaluating the implications of a range of GHG stabilization targets, but it will not involve the committee's assessment of what stabilization targets are technically feasible nor their normative judgment on what targets are most appropriate. 1This study will consider cumulative emissions of the "basket" of gases considered in the Kyoto protocol (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6)
