Which of the following statements about global warming, according to Lomborg, is true? The increase in global temperature will cost the world $14.5 trillion by 2100, but following Kyoto Protocols will cost $15.8 trillion. The increase in global temperature will cost the world $15.8 trillion, but following Kyoto Protocols will cost $14.5 trillion. Reducing carbon emissions is the least expensive way to curb global warming. Following the Kyoto Protocols solves the temperature warming problem most economically.

Most governments are concerned about climate change. They have thus sought to negotiate an agreement to reduce carbon emissions. These negotiations have been difficult because governments disagree about who should bear the burden of reducing emissions. Suppose governments have the following preferences: Poor countries such as China and India believe that poor countries should not have to make further emissions cuts, while rich countries should make large cuts. The US believes that rich countries should not have to make further cuts, but that poor countries should make large cuts. The European Union (EU) would like both groups of countries to make large cuts. These ideal points are depicted in the two-dimensional space below. “SQ” is the status quo, and represents the emissions cuts that governments have already agreed to in prior climate negotiations.

Nations across the globe are dealing with the effects of global warming. As the Earth's temperature rises, we are seeing dramatic examples of how that plays out for Earth's inhabitants. These examples include many animal species becoming extinct as habitats decrease or change; more frequent and more devastating fires in Australia and the western United States; rising water covering the city streets of Venice, Italy and threatening homes and farmland in The Netherlands; intense heat waves in India killing humans and animals alike. Here in North Carolina, we have seen more severe storms in the last year than in any 12-month period since weather reporting began in our area. Last summer, many people in our area complained about the abundance and ferocity of poison ivy. It turns out that increased CO2 levels in the environment create perfect conditions for poison ivy to thrive. What responsibility do we owe our fellow human beings to protect the environment? What responsibility do we…

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. Using the tools of managerial economics, analyse the cap-and trade system and comment on the ability of this policy to reduce carbon emissions. Does a…
