In theory putting a price on carbon emissions should incentivise businesses to stop polluting. So why have carbon markets failed to achieve their goal of reducing global emissions? Read more here: econ.st/3mi51Eo

Unfortunately commodity prices have not reflected the actual cost of environmental degradation. They need to increase, and the increased income can be either used to buy Carbon Credits or pay the actual costs to regenerate the environment. We have been living on ‘borrowed’ environment for the last 200 years - time for pay-back!

Would carbon tariffs from major western economies be effective in addressing well known foreign deregulated carbon markets or could this have an undesired economic/environmental effect? Thanks for the informative video!
@peterisawesomeplease
@peterisawesomeplease 2 жыл бұрын
Yes they would be effective. The problem is it is too easy to call them a tax. And the word "tax" is incredibly unpopular. For that matter a carbon tax generally would be much more economically efficient than cap and trade. But again the word "tax". Of course you could make the tax revenue neutral. For example reducing income taxes in exchange for your new import tax or a generic carbon tax. But this is too much political indirection for most people to understand. This is probably the highest impact and most difficult political problem in the first world. And not just related to climate change. The barrier to lowering and raising taxes to increase economic efficiency as opposed to adding or removing revenue or changing progressiveness is so high that we have incredibly market distorting tax and regulatory policies.

In the way in which the video suggested, yes. I imagine the difficulty would mainly be in calculating these emissions in foreign countries. Tariffs always have a downside but in this case at least they have a clear, targeted and genuine purpose. It's also worth considering that industrialisation takes emissions and that once countries are developed they are then better able to reduce emissions

A very likely experience waiting for commoners if the world reaches consensus on tightening carbon emission is inevitable significant inflation. A very high percentage of goods that a commoner - especially in developed countries - use in daily basis come from developing economies especially China. It is actually impossible to ignore the fact that China and alike countries produce so much for itself and the world that their production activities singularly drive the commodities price like copper and iron ore. I’m not against preserving the world but I would encourage everyone of us to ponder the consequence and the price we pay. As we can recall from the history that most of the blunt regulations only make things more expensive just like the example laid out earlier, the following inflation won’t hurt the rich as much as it does to us the commoners.

There are other issues with action on climate change: 2050 is 20 years too late. A fractional reduction of emissions is too little; it must be 100% by 2030. Net emissions is meaningless, it must be zero fossil emissions. Imprecision in language is a bane: carbon emissions aren't the problem; fossil carbon fumes are, except now is too late to ignore avoidable methane and worse GHGs. And worst, we lose sight of the goal: avoiding the end of agriculture and fisheries within decades if we fail, bringing on global fossil famine. Optimal action would look like. 1. Add 5%/year of today’s level to energy efficiency to +40% total by 2030. 2. Taper 1% of today’s level per month fossil emission, down to zero by 2030. 3. Plant 4 new trees/person/year or equal direct air drawdown down to 300 ppmv. 4. Stabilize, fix and grow ecosystems down to 300 ppmv. (But why ever stop?) 5. Cut 100% of avoidable emissions of methane-or-worse CO2e gases right now.

Ehh you don't even need lobbying people are just idiots. Take electric vehicle subsidies. They are incredibly economically inefficient compared to closing coal plants. And in general a carbon tax would be vastly more efficient and less economically distorting than cap and trade or our whole web of incentives and disincentives. But carbon tax contains the word "tax" without that word being next to "rich". This means its impossible to get support for. Even if the tax were revenue and progressiveness neutral(we adjusted other taxes to compensate) it would never get support in todays political climate.

Whoever came up with the idea to apply the Cap and Trade schemes that worked for sulfur and NO2 emissions, to CO2 emissions is responsible for the biggest boondoggle in the history of boondoggles. Only a miniscule fraction of the waste gases from combustion was SO2 and NO2. Reducing these byproduct gases meant simply strictly enforcing the methods to scrub these gases out. When you burn/oxidize carbon based fuel you get CO2, there is no way around that and you cannot scrub it out. No catalytic converter exists that changes CO2 back to carbon and oxygen. The idea was dead on arrival and probably only ever was a scheme to give some pencil pushing politician a meal ticket.

The intention behind the idea may be noble, but these things never work. For renewables to be truly viable and preferable, they must provide a better price per kwh than alternatives. If you try to set up rules/systems to attempt to enforce companies to act in a certain way, it just distorts free markets and hurts the consumer/people in the country this is done via 2 means; higher prices (vs. other countries not doing this, lowering purchasing power/living standards), and by causing manufacturing to leave the jurisdiction into ones where goods can be manufactured more cheaply, without these constraints. A more free market driven approach, where countries don't try to cheat would be one where the economics drive the use of renewables rather than force/policy. This can be achieved through more research/spending on developing these technologies to be more efficient, which would cause private entities to invest in these technologies. Currently this is not the case as the returns are low. Our policy makers throughout the west are obsessed with this totalitarian mentality that everything can be controlled/directed via central planning in a free market. People are ingenious and will simply find a way to bypass everything, and if they don't, free markets basically mean efficiency will be obtained through jurisdiction arbitrage, causing economic harm to the countries enacting these policies.

I understand the ideas: but this is a case of economists trying to do something which in theory sounds great but crushingly fails in reality. The way these markets are set up; the fact that the permits are based on an expectation all of that places to much power over wealth in the hands of the politician. Something in many places around the world - if that type of money is involved- these politicians are not able to handle or resist. We should consider in our economic analysis of urgent problems, that they do not happen in a vacuum and we will fail if we don’t take greed and human error into account. The developing world is emitting to much co2. We should not be afraid to say that -> but it is also emitting as much in order to produce products we consume. China is a massiv problem and will suffer the long term consequences of the greed of their wealthy elite destroying the country’s long term environment in order to benefit themselves. Same with Russia and many former Soviet staates It is true -> we need to accept this view before we can move on to build models that are able to truly shape policies in a way forcing these rulers to change. Our biggest power in the west is ingenuity and our consumption-> if we all were to buy truly sustainable products that would dramatically force change in the second and third world.

i dont think you realise that the Western World's carbon emissions per capita is far higher, if you split countries like India and China into their individual states, their gross summed carbon emissions would be far less than any EU or American country/state. These developing countries rely on foreign outsourcing to help their economies grow. If you cut off their outsourcing simply due to their lenient carbon laws, their economies will perish. It will become a question of poverty or pollution.

What about a carbon tax made as a percentage on the profit of companies, proportional to the carbon they produce. They would be banned from putting the cost of this on consumers.

You will not become honest about global warming until you start talking first and foremost about geoengineering, and then nuclear energy. SRM geoengineering is the only things that can stop or even slow the the warming; emissions reductions can slow only the rate of increase in the warming. Nuclear and fusion are the only things that can eventually allow enough CCS geoengineering to reduce the carbon content in the atmosphere.
