• Orthogonalism... again

  This level of egalitarianism usually fails in legislative bodies because they want to favor those who already have wealth and power. You either end up with something which hews to the wealthy, like the current EU cap and trade legislation or nothing at all, as happened in the US in 2009. Source: over 2 years ago

• Warning Signals for Collapse of The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

  You should read about "cap and trade system" implemented by European Union. The idea is to cap emissions according to the Paris Climate agreement and auction resulting remaining emissions. https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/ets_en https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emissions_Trading_System. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Energieminister Tinne Van der Straeten (Groen): ‘Die gascentrales moeten zo weinig mogelijk draaien’

  The EU ETS works on the 'cap and trade' principle. A cap is set on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by the installations covered by the system. The cap is reduced over time so that total emissions fall. source. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Carbon offsets/credits?

  If people are interested I can do a more in-depth response later, but in short carbon crediting systems (i.e cap & trade) are intended to raise the price of using greenhouse gas emitting technologies and thereby make green alternatives more competitive (remember, without them, emitting greenhouse gases is literally free). In most cap and trade systems (such as in the EU) the number of available credits are... Source: almost 3 years ago

• What’s driving the huge jump in carbon dioxide prices in Europe this year?

  Since 2005, the EU has used a unique mechanism — the Emissions Trading System (ETS). The mechanism, which affects about 40 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, establishes for each company an annual allowance of emissions, with which it can trade with other companies. A company that by year-end will exceed the quota allocated to it, by weighting the allowances in which it trades with other companies,... Source: almost 3 years ago

• What do you guys think about climate change and do you have any ideas about what could help to reverse it?

  Tax carbon emission, fiscal incentives for green energy, large investment in modern nuclear energy (the safest form of energy), Emissions Trading System (like the one on the EU, which has been proven to work in reducing emissions) and investments in developing countries to help them develop the infrastructure for more sustainable ways of energy. I'm sure there's more but those are some main ones. Source: about 3 years ago

• EU carbon credits and where to find them

  Hello, does anyone here know, how can I, as a retail client residing in EU, get exposure to EU carbon credits/emission allowances? Talking about this: https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/ets_en. Source: about 3 years ago

• [DIPLOMACY] Denmark legislation enacts stricter Emissions Trading

  With the UN passing a motion to add Emissions Trading to the Paris Accords, Denmark adds further legislation on top of what it had already regarding EU Policy regarding emissions trading. Source: about 3 years ago
