The Cost of Carbon - January 2009
From Alternatives Journal
Rick Hyndman, the senior climate change policy adviser to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers in Calgary, has written this article in response to Michael R. King’s thoughts on carbon trading (“No Carbon Copy,” Alternatives Journal, 34:6, 2008). That Canada should mimic the European Union and necessarily develop a carbon trading system is not the path to travel, according to Hyndman. Canadians must face up to what reducing emissions will cost, he warns, and resist allowing emission traders – rather than government – to set the price of carbon.
