متن کاملPolicy Options for Controlling Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Implications for Agruculture
The pace of activity around climate change legislation picked up noticeably in 2007. The increased focus brought new legislative proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). These bills include cap-and-trade systems, and carbon taxes1 as well as energy bills that promote energy efficiency or renewables (Table 1). Many also include support for research and development for emission reduci...
متن کاملDevelopment of an end-use model for analyzing policy options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
An end-use energy model is presented for assessing policy options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This model evaluates effects of imposing a carbon tax on various carbon-emitting technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. It also estimates effects of combining a carbon tax with subsidies. The problem can be formulated as two-level mathematical programming. An algorithm is proposed and applied...
متن کاملReducing greenhouse gas emissions for climate stabilization: framing regional options.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has stated that stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations will require reduction of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by as much as 80% by 2050. Subnational efforts to cut emissions will inform policy development nationally and globally. We projected GHG mitigation strategies for Minnesota, which has adopted a strategic goal of 80% emiss...
متن کاملPolitical influences on greenhouse gas emissions from US states.
Starting at least in the 1970s, empirical work suggested that demographic (population) and economic (affluence) forces are the key drivers of anthropogenic stress on the environment. We evaluate the extent to which politics attenuates the effects of economic and demographic factors on environmental outcomes by examining variation in CO2 emissions across US states and within states over time. We...
