3. Lack of Direction on Climate Change Hobbles Carbon Trading

   Explore Article The New York Times (Feb 16 2010) Cap and Trade

   Touted by its supporters as the best and cheapest way to fight global warming, carbon trading is losing momentum amid the uncertainty created by the failure of the Copenhagen summit meeting and President Barack Obama’s political troubles in the United States. Investors are steering clear of energy-saving projects meant to generate carbon credits, and traders in Europe are hunkering down through a period of consolidation that is disappointing to those who had hoped carbon markets would grow quickly into a $2 trillion-a-year business.

   Purchasing departments are playing key roles in company campaigns to reduce their carbon footprint from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Purchasing has been looking for energy savings since long before climate change science fingered GHG as a contributing cause. Aside from finding greener energy sources and contributing to energy efficiency innovations, they are involved in changing the materials buy or moving to processes that emit less CO2 and other gasses. "There has been surge of interest over the last year and half in inquiries about GHG emissions," says James Solo, vice president at Trucost, a U.K.-based consulting firm that assists companies ...

   As governments around the world continue to explore and implement carbon emissions standards and carbon reduction commitments, many companies will be required to participate in auction-based carbon emissions trading schemes that are designed to provide economic and reputational incentives for achieving reductions in emissions. In many cases, those companies that do not reduce emissions could face financial penalties in the form of emissions credits they will need to purchase. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme will begin in April 2010 to promote energy efficiency and help reduce carbon emissions.

   This week has been another turbulent one for the green tech agenda. The backlash against fair UK's CRC carbon trading scheme got underway, and the overall global warming science got another kicking in the press too. . Firstly, the climate researchers whose emails were stolen got told off by the UK's information commissioner for not obeying Freedom of Information legislation. The group, at the University of East Anglia denies the charge, and has its own inquiry underway. But even if they did stonewall requests for data - which may well have been vexatious and excessive - that doesn't undermine the ...

   Regardless of what you may think about anthropogenic global warming (climate change caused by human activity) or the recent scandal centering on the ethics and motivations of certain climate scientists, carbon dioxide is a substance that is in the political dog house. Residents of member states in the European Union have already seen the institution of a cap and trade system designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through government regulation; residents of the United States may well be in for a similar system. Although data centers generally do not, by themselves, spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, their operation does ...

An urban garden, with potted evergreens and fruit trees, carpets the top of your downtown apartment building. The structure itself is vintage – a 1960’s brownstone that’s been retrofitted, by city-wide mandate. It operates on the new multi-source national electrical grid, which is supplied by wind, solar, geothermal power, as well as fossil fuels whose emissions are trapped underground.

    The EPA’s decision to regulate carbon emissions, made on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit, immediately incurred the wrath of industry. Businesses are petrified, as Iain Murray writes in The National Review online, that the agency will regulate “everything larger than a Gore-sized mansion.” What are we to make of this fear? There’s really no need to panic over the prospect of EPA dominance. Instead, industry should take the hint that’s it high time to push hard for climate-change legislation. Sure, the move by the EPA to exercise regulatory authority over carbon — a power granted to it by ...

    With Copenhagen climate talks looking stalled and the Senate mired in complicated eco-wrangling, is there a simpler way to get the U.S. to reduce the carbon emissions that most scientists blame for global warming? Some say yes, a refundable carbon tax. The current cap and trade plan in congress to cut greenhouse gases involves a complex web of allotments and giveaways that some fear are too compromised to work. A carbon tax could cut greenhouse gases without having to make major concessions to any one interest group, supporters say. The tax works like this: A fee is levied at the ...

    President Obama heads to Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference. While there, he’s expected to commit to lowering U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020. For all the talk about the environment, the United State currently lacks national regulations around greenhouse gases, although 29 states have adopted or are considering such legislation, and the House in June passed a bill addressing this issue, according to the ICT Green Report recently issued by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). This goal that the President is expected to put on the table in Denmark can also be found in the ...

    AT the international climate talks in Copenhagen, President Obama is expected to announce that the United States wants to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to about 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050. But at the heart of his plan is cap and trade, a market-based approach that has been widely praised but does little to slow global warming or reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. It merely allows polluters and Wall Street traders to fleece the public out of billions of dollars. Supporters of cap and trade point to the 1990 Clean Air Act ...
