Examine the economic basis for this argument.
There is increasing scientific evidence that climate change caused by human actions has substantially impacted surface temperatures on Earth. However, what is unclear is the tools available to managers and policymakers to reduce carbon emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions come from a large number of sources such as power plants, and factories to automobiles all around the world. Therefore, the number of pollution sources that need to be controlled is enormous. Additionally, countries often balk at the enormous price of curtailing their emissions. To address some of these challenges, the European Union adopted a cap-and-trade system to reduce their emissions. As an economic advisor and consultant to the European Union, your opinion has been sought on the cap-and-trade system and whether it is beneficial in reducing carbon emissions.
