Carbon Pricing: A Necessary Step to Address Climate Change

Carbon Pricing:  A Necessary Step to Address Climate Change

Climate Change has been called ’NOT the BIGGEST challenge of OUR time, but, the BIGGEST challenge of ALL time’.   The topic can be confusing to many and often there is uncertainty of what Climate Change is, what are its effects, and what can be done about it.   Carbon Pricing is viewed as a simple, yet effective and comprehensive policy that can serve as the best first step in fighting climate change.   The policy enjoys wide, international support and is rapidly growing in public, bi-partisan support in Washington DC.   It is endorsed by 27 Nobel economics laureates, will speed a transition to renewable energy in a way that is considered as a fair and just policy, while providing for economic growth and jobs.
