Carbon pricing won't solve climate change. Innovation will

Christian Science Monitor: Carbon pricing has been the go-to solution for economists and environmentalists alike since climate change was identified as one of the foremost social and environmental challenges of our time. Want a climate rescue plan? Carbon pricing. Want to raise revenue for clean energy deployment? Carbon pricing. It's the "silver bullet" for other things, too. Want to reduce reliance on foreign oil? Or raise revenue to correct other tax inefficiencies? Carbon pricing. This approach appeals to many because...

Guardian: A revenue-neutral carbon tax or fee is a proposed policy to address global warming that's become increasingly popular, particularly in the US. It's a simple concept put a much needed price on carbon pollution, but return all the revenue that's generated to taxpayers (for example with a monthly refund) to offset rising energy costs. This approach appeals to political conservatives, because it's a free market solution that doesn't increase the size of government. British Columbia (BC) launched...
Beijing emitters ignore carbon scheme, question government authority: media

Beijing's carbon trading market, one of six set up in China to rein in rapidly growing greenhouse gas emissions, caps carbon dioxide from nearly 500 local enterprises. Most of them must hand over permits to the government to cover for their emissions,...

Australia to 'Fail' in Achieving Carbon Emission Reduction Targets Due to Shortfall

Business Times: Prime Minister Tony Abbott is attempting to undo what his predecessors have done to reduce carbon emissions. The Abbott government is moving to abolish the carbon tax and replace it with the Direct Action plan. Reputex, a major carbon market analysis firm in Australia, said the Abbott government's proposed Emissions Reduction Fund is not enough to meet the country's target of cutting emissions to 5 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020. When Australia misses its mark, it will also fail to meet its...
