| Emissions Trading | Hansen | Singer I 225 Emissions trading/climate change/altruism/J. E. HansenVsEmissions Trading/Hansen/Singer, P.: any system setting a general upper limit in a trading system, and... I 226 ...divides them into rights for nations, companies and individuals. Problem: such schemes have a negative effect on altruistic behaviour: when I as an individual buy a hybrid vehicle, it does not reduce the total emissions of my country. These are rather cut by the agreed upper limit. My behaviour rather causes the price of conventional fuel to fall and makes it cheaper for other people to drive conventional vehicles. Solution/Hansen: a tax on the carbon dioxide content in fuels. (Carbon Tax). The proceeds from this should be distributed equally among all inhabitants. That is what he calls the fee and dividend scheme. This rewards those who reduce their carbon footprint and this reduces total emissions. (J. E. Hansen et al.(2008)(1), J. E. Hansen 2009)(2).

Hansen), but this altruism will not have the necessary effect anyway. >KrugmanVsHansen. >Emission permits, >Emission reduction credits, >Emission targets, >Emissions, >Emissions trading, >Climate change, >Climate damage, >Energy policy, >Clean Energy Standards, >Climate data, >Climate history, >Climate justice, >Climate periods, >Climate targets, >Climate impact research, >Carbon price, >Carbon price coordination, >Carbon price strategies, >Carbon tax, >Carbon tax strategies. 1.

| Emissions Trading | Singer | I 225 Emissions trading/P. Singer: emissions trading is based on the simple economic principle that if you can buy something cheaper than you can make it yourself, it is better to buy it than to produce it. In this case, these are transferable rights to pollute the environment, which can be traded. They are calculated on the basis of an equal share per capita. >Trade, >Markets, >Price, >Climate Change, >Climate Protection. For international trade, this means that cuts in carbon dioxide pollution are made at the lowest possible cost, thus causing the least damage to the global economy. In addition, nations with a low level of pollution - usually poorer countries - will be encouraged to keep their emissions low, so that they will have more emission rights available to sell to rich countries. This would mean a transfer of resources from rich to poor countries - without altruism. VsEmissions Trading: Problem: 1. Lack of verifiability. 2. Payments from richer to poorer countries only make sense if the money reduces poverty and does not disappear into the pockets of the elite, which often happens in dictatorships. 3. J. E. HansenVsEmissions Trading: Hansen proposes a carbon tax system instead. >HansenVsEmissions Trading. I 228 Emissions trading/Henry Shue/Singer, P. (H. Shue, 1993)(1): Thesis: it is necessary to distinguish between emissions that contribute to livelihoods, such as methane emissions from rice cultivation areas and "luxury emissions" caused by urban car traffic. >Carbon tax.
