Is a Carbon Tax a Good Idea? Just Ask British Columbia
2014-03-26 20:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateDesk: In the US context, the idea of putting a tax on carbon is going nowhere fast. While the policy has been championed by liberal legislators and by a few conservative apostates, like former South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis, mainstream Republican sentiment remains opposed to climate action. For the moment, many lawmakers remain too busy denying the reality of human-caused climate change.

Exxon to disclose extent of its carbon asset exposure

New Scientist: Oil giant Exxon Mobil has promised to reveal how much of its fossil fuel reserves could become worthless if governments agree to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It is the first major fossil fuel company to declare the size of its exposure to the so-called carbon bubble - the over-valuation of fossil fuel companies that could result if their assets are left unused. To save ourselves from the worst impacts of global warming, we have to leave fossil fuels in the ground instead of burning them. But...
