New Scientist: IT IS all downhill from here on. Right now Earth's climate is not warming too much when extra carbon dioxide reaches the atmosphere, but as levels of the gas keep rising, the climate will become ever more sensitive to it. That means emissions in 2100 could be even more dangerous than emissions today. Despite decades of research, nobody is really sure how sensitive the climate is to carbon dioxide. Our best guess, according to the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, is that...
Global carbon market 'toolbox' in sight at U.N. climate talks

IEA sees global carbon pricing spreading with China scheme

Pricing carbon is aimed at encouraging energy producers and industry to switch to greener energy and away from burning fossil fuels. As well as the European Union's current Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), the IEA said it expected China to launch carbon pricing...
