- Offset your emissions. Pearce, Fred // New Scientist;9/19/2009, Vol. 203 Issue 2726, p35
The article focuses on carbon offsetting, the scheme that enables an individual to offset or redeem his or her carbon-intensive activities. Information is presented on the pros and cons of three general approaches to carbon offsetting, including investing in projects that directly cut emissions,...
- Clear as Mud: Why agriculture and soils should not be included in carbon offset schemes. // Catholic New Times;7/4/2011, p12
The article argues that agriculture and soils should be excluded from the carbon offsetting initiative. It looks at the potential growth of the carbon offsetting business as well as the inclusion of agriculture in carbon offset schemes. The article argues that including agriculture in carbon...
- Climate change mitigation in a regionalized world. Sankovski, Alexei; Barbour, Wiley; Pepper, William // Environmental Economics & Policy Studies;2000, Vol. 3 Issue 2, p225
This paper describes two mitigation scenarios leading to the stabilization of atmospheric CO2 concentrations at 550 and 750 ppm. These mitigation scenarios are developed from the A2-ASF baseline scenario, which characterizes a regionalized world with continuous population growth (to about 15...

Traditionally, economic analyses of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation focused on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy sources, while non-CO2 GHGs were not incorporated into the studies, due to the lack of data on abatement costs of non-CO2 GHGs. In recent years, however, increasing attention...
- Multi-gas Mitigation Analysis on Stabilization Scenarios Using Aim Global Model. Fujino, Junichi; Nair, Rajesh; Kainuma, Mikiko; Masui, Toshihiko; Matsuoka, Yuzuru // Energy Journal;Multi-Greenhouse Gas Mitigation, Vol. 27, p343
Non-CO2 gas (CH4, N2O and F gas) emissions account for 25 percent of all greenhouse gas in the year of 2000. Main sources of CH4 and N2O emissions are agriculture-related activities such as enteric fermentation, paddy rice cultivation, soil management. A recursive dynamic CGE (Computer General...
- Finding common ground in the debate between carbon tax and cap-and-trade policies. Cleetus, Rachel // Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists;Jan2011, Vol. 67 Issue 1, p19
Swift and deep reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, chiefly carbon dioxide, are necessary to help avoid some of the most devastating effects of climate change. One aspect of US climate policy that is particularly contentious is the issue of the best economic tool to employ to reduce...
- Capping CARBON. Page, Paul // Journal of Commerce (15307557);3/8/2010, Vol. 11 Issue 10, p4
The author offers his views on the proposed cap-and-trade legislation in the U. S. Congress. The author argues that the proposed legislation will most likely not become a law. He also opines that a carbon levy would raise cost of fuel-driven operations, as proposed by the Graham-Lieberman-Kerry...
- HOW A PRICE ON CARBON AFFECTS EVERY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT. Rouwette, Rob; Sue Tan // Government News;Dec2011/Jan2012, Vol. 31 Issue 6, p41
The article focuses on the effects of carbon footprint price to several government departments in Australia. It highlights several public departments that may be affected by the carbon price including sustainability, marketing, policy making, and even legal services. There are 500 companies in...
- iron fertilisation. Law, Cliff // New Zealand Science Teacher;2010, Issue 124, p28
The article explores the impact of ocean iron fertilisation on lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Iron fertilisation is considered as one of a portfolio of technological approaches to lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). It was found that through re-analysis of ice core data, the...
