The 2050 reports

It is now widely accepted that global warming linked to man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is one of the major challenges faced by mankind in the 21st century.

In the latest PricewaterhouseCoopers 2050 report, we call on the governments of the major economies to demonstrate their joint political will to combat global warming. And we conclude that the adoption of a "greener growth + carbon capture and storage (CCS)" strategy would be technologically feasible without excessive economic costs—provided action is taken early enough across a broad range of fronts.
