• NYR­blog — Copen­hagen Cri­sis: Why the US Needs Cap and Trade — The New York Review of Books — It’s some­times argued that the Euro­pean expe­ri­ence with cap and trade shows that it doesn’t work. But this is sim­ply untrue: the Euro­pean leg­is­la­tion is on tar­get to deliver the full 8 per­cent of reduc­tions below 1990 lev­els promised by 2012, and fur­ther­more it has left Europe with an appetite for even steeper reduc­tions in future. Euro­peans have uni­lat­er­ally decided to reduce emis­sions by 20 per­cent below 1990 lev­els by 2020, and have offered to increase that to a 30 per­cent reduc­tion if the rest of the world agrees to take action. | envi­ron­ment pol­i­tics europe
