Room for Debate: Can the Market Stave Off Global Warming?

global warming market: On Monday, President Obama is expected to announce a plan to cut carbon emissions from power plants by up to 30 percent with the help of state cap-and-trade programs. Cap and trade is one of the primary responses to global warming. It requires industries to have marketable permits to emit greenhouse gases. Reducing the permits would increase their price, lower emissions and stimulate innovation. Many say it has not worked out so well. Is cap and trade the best chance for stemming climate change,...

Two economists prepared the report for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, and it was published last week on the center's Web site. The authors, Adele Morris of the Brookings Institution and Aparna Mathur of the American Enterprise Institute, found that a national tax on carbon emissions beginning...

Discovery: Big ideas like space mirrors and creating more clouds won't help with global warming, but cutting emissions will, argues a new study. "Climate engineering doesn't offer a perfect option," said Daniela Cusack, an assistant professor of geography at UCLA and the study's lead author, in a release. "The perfect option is reducing emissions." We have the technology we need right now, say the authors, to reduce the amount of CO2 being added to the atmosphere each year by 7 gigatons. Human activity...

The results were detailed in a report released by the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies titled "What's In A Name? Global Warming vs Climate Change."

'Global warming' scarier than 'climate change,' surveys find

LiveScience: Americans are more concerned about the changing planet when the words "global warming" are used than when they hear "climate change," new research finds. The two terms are often used synonymously, but new surveys reveal that they carry different connotations for many people, particularly African Americans, Hispanic Americans, liberals and people between the ages of 31 and 48. Republicans see the two terms as more or less equivalent, but Democrats, political independents, liberals and moderates...
