Why Does Politics Keep Getting in the Way of Pricing Carbon?

Energy Collective: While a carbon price is every economists' favorite climate plan, real-world political constraints get in the way (just ask Australia!) In a new paper in Energy Policy, I examine a variety of political economy constraints that limit the environmental efficacy and economic efficiency of real-world carbon pricing policies. Households in the United States appear willing to pay just $80-200 per year to combat climate change, equivalent to a carbon tax of roughly $2-8 per ton. In contrast, estimates...
A Carbon Tax That Can Rise From Australia's Ashes

Huffington Post: As the post-mortems arrive to determine the cause of death for Australia's carbon tax, a couple of questions emerge: Why did this happen? What lessons can we learn? The answer to the first question is fairly simple: A politician - Julia Gillard - promised she wouldn't tax carbon, and then she broke that promise. This happened because her Labor Party needed to form a coalition government with the Green Party. The price the Greens demanded for that alliance was a carbon tax, and so she acquiesced....

Climate News Network: For years, the energy companies have been telling us not to worry. Yes, mounting carbon emissions threaten to heat up the world -- but technology, particularly carbon capture and storage, or CCS, will come to the rescue. Despite various geopolitical rivalries and disputes over trade, China and the US have shown increasing willingness to co-operate when it comes to climate change issues. The trouble is that there's been plenty of talk about CCS and little action, with few projects being implemented...

A Fresh Look at Iron, Plankton, Carbon, Salmon and Ocean Engineering
2014-07-18 18:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Two years ago this month, an edge-pushing environmental entrepreneur and a company formed by a Native Canadian village set off a wave of international protest by dispersing a pink slurry of 100 tons of iron-rich dust over one of the 60-mile-wide ocean eddies that routinely drift across the salmon feeding grounds of the Gulf of Alaska. Their goal, in the face of steep declines in Pacific salmon catches, was to trigger a plankton population explosion with the infusion of iron, a vital nutrient thats...
