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...

How does carbon pricing work?
How Does Carbon Pricing Work? There is a habit in economics, especially in rooms with polished tables and filtered air, to speak about carbon as though it were an abstraction. A metric. A unit. A derivative of energy consumption. Yet carbon dioxide is physical. It leaves a tailpipe warm. It rises from a smokestack with the invisible confidence of empire. It lingers in oceans that absorb heat...

How does economics affect the environment?
How Does Economics Affect the Environment? There is a moment, standing in an old-growth forest, when economics appears absurd. Not wrong. Not malicious. Simply too small. The trees do not invoice the atmosphere for oxygen. Rivers do not submit expense reports after flooding a delta with nutrients. A mycorrhizal network beneath the soil—those astonishing fungal webs trading carbon and...

What is a carbon tax?
What Is a Carbon Tax? A refinery in Texas exhales more carbon dioxide before dawn than a forest can absorb in months. A container ship crossing the Pacific burns bunker fuel so dense and sulfurous that, if poured into a stream, it would resemble an industrial crime scene. Yet the invoice for this damage rarely arrives. The atmosphere receives the bill. Future generations inherit the debt....

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...

What Is Sustainable Development in Economics?
What Is Sustainable Development in Economics? Sustainable development is one of the most important concepts in modern economics and public policy. It refers to a form of economic growth that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In simple terms, sustainable development seeks to balance economic progress, environmental...

What is the economic impact of global warming?
What Is the Economic Impact of Global Warming? The first thing to disappear is not the glacier. It is the predictability. People imagine climate change as a cinematic event: oceans climbing seawalls, forests combusting in orange weather, polar bears adrift on fractured ice. Those things are real. Yet economies do not collapse in one dramatic gesture. They fray. Quietly at first. A delayed...

Who should pay for environmental damage?
Who Should Pay for Environmental Damage? The Bill Is Coming Due A few years ago, I sat in a boardroom listening to a heated discussion about a manufacturing expansion. The numbers were attractive. Revenue projections looked strong. Jobs would be created. Investors would be happy. Then someone raised a question that changed the tone of the room. What would happen if the project contaminated...
