Do carbon taxes reduce emissions?Do Carbon Taxes Reduce Emissions? The argument usually arrives disguised as arithmetic. A legislator holds up a chart, a pundit cites a gasoline price, an economist sketches a tidy curve on television. Carbon taxes, we are told, work because people respond to prices. Raise the cost of pollution and pollution declines. Elegant. Mechanical. Almost Newtonian. But carbon is not emitted by...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 424 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

How do governments reduce pollution?How Do Governments Reduce Pollution? A river does not argue. It carries the memory of a civilization in silence. Stand beside the lower stretch of the Cuyahoga River in the late 1960s and you would have smelled varnish, gasoline, sulfur, rot. The water itself could ignite. It did ignite. Flames climbed from the river’s surface like a deranged industrial miracle, and the photographs...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 455 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

How does carbon pricing work?How Does Carbon Pricing Work?

I remember standing beside the Cuyahoga years after the famous fire, watching the water move under a film of industrial sheen that caught the afternoon sun like a bruise. Nearby, a father cast a fishing line with the stubborn...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 467 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

What is cap-and-trade?What Is Cap-and-Trade? There is a moment that arrives in certain industrial cities just before dawn when the air becomes visible. Not fog. Not weather. A chemistry of exhaust, sulfur, nitrates, carbon, and microscopic particulates suspended low enough to taste. I remember standing near the ship channel outside Houston years ago while a refinery exhaled steam against a bruised sky. A worker...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 518 مشاهدة 0 معاينة

What is environmental economics?What Is Environmental Economics? There is a peculiar arrogance in modern economics. It assumes that if a thing cannot be priced, it either does not matter or will somehow correct itself through the mystical operations of “the market.” A forest becomes lumber inventory. A river becomes industrial input. A fishery becomes a quarterly earnings report waiting to happen. And when the...0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 2كيلو بايت مشاهدة 0 معاينة
