Climate policy needs to address the multidecadal to centennial time scale of climate change. Although the realization of short-term targets is an important first step, to be effective climate policies need to be conceived as long-term programs that will achieve a gradual transition to an essentially emission-free economy on the time scale of a century. This requires a considerably broader spectrum of policy measures than the primarily market-based instruments invoked for shorter term mitigation policies. A successful climate policy must consist of a dual approach focusing on both short-term targets and long-term goals.

Bibliographical note

This study was supported by project grants from the Wellcome Trust and the European Union. Some of these data were presented orally at the 1999 meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. We thank Ms. Lynda Stevens, statistician at University College (London) for assistance with the breakpoint analysis, Ms. Sue Manley from the Radcliffe Infirmary (Oxford) and Ms. Suky Sankaralingham for the standardization of follow-up HbA 1c performed by the London method to the DCCT method, and Mr. Gary John from St. Bartholomew's Hospital (London) for baseline standardization. We would also like to thank all staff and patients who took part in the study.
