Forbes: Americans want the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate greenhouse gases, preferring EPA regulation far more than a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade program, according to a Harvard political scientist who has conducted a comprehensive survey of attitudes toward energy and climate for the last 12 years.

Tyee: By the end of this month, Alberta will say whether it plans to make its climate laws stronger. The timing is terrible, according to Alberta Premier Jim Prentice. The recent oil price drop means "it's time for caution." Even a small increase to the modest carbon tax Alberta enacted in 2007 can cause "immediate" impacts to investment and jobs, he warns. You might expect the top labour leader in a province of oil and gas workers to agree. But Gil McGowan called warnings like that "a load of bunk."...

Clean Technica: This week, the government of Chile holds a final vote on its first carbon taxation scheme, also the first in South America, a measure to make fossil fuel generators pay for emitting greenhouse gases. The Chile carbon tax is part of a larger program of wide-ranging tax revisions introduced by the countrys popular center-left president Michelle Bachelet, partly to enact social reforms promised in her recent election.
