Although some scientists and critics still dispute that human caused greenhouse gases are causing climate change, the majority of scientists and climate experts assert that global warming is a serious problem that could have devastating consequences unless action is taken to reduce fossil fuel emissions. In 2007, for example, the Nobel Prize–winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a scientific body charged by the United Nations with summarizing the best climate science, concludes that evidence of the warming of our climate is “unequivocal.” (more…)

The aim of emission trading is to achieve emissions reductions at the lowest economic cost. Emission trading occurs when a factory reduces its emissions and environmental impact and then transfers ownership of the emission reduction to another party. Emission allowances are typically given by regulators to large sources of pollution, and allow those sources to release a prescribed amount of a pollutant. Surplus allowances can be sold, traded, or banked for future use. (more…)
