Climate Change, a Global Problem, is a Global Solution Possible?

摘要

Climate change is gaining greater public and political attention in the developed world. In the UK and Europe governments are attempting to promote so-called green or renewable energy and to encourage, by non-obligatory means, economy in the use of energy. Energy or emissions taxation are seen as an acceptable source of governmental revenue. The European carbon trading scheme is in place and operating for the industrial organisations that have carbon limits placed on them. Unfortunately, as expected, the value of carbon emission under this scheme is low.
