Understanding Carbon Pricing:
Carbon Fee & Dividend
vs
Cap and Trade
The Climate Crisis looms as the most serious threat to human civilization. Recent data and experience indicate more rapid warming and accelerating greenhouse gas emissions than previously projected. Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has surpassed levels not seen in millions of years.Climate disasters are with us now.
As the political process struggles to address this challenge, disinformation floods the public space, creating confusion and delay. What must be done to reduce emissions, begin to pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, and return the Earth to a safe-climate future? How can the public and decision-makers cut through the resistance and denial in order to do what is necessary to avoid dangerous climate change?
Peter G. Joseph, M.D. is an emergency physician trained by former Vice President Al Gore to educate the public about the devastating impacts of global warming. He now leads the Marin County chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, which advocates for a predictable, steeply rising carbon fee that is fully returned to citizens and a border carbon duty to incentivize trading partners to do the same. He will review the latest scientific data and discuss both the technical and political aspects of humanity’s greatest challenge.
Speaker: Dr. Peter Joseph, Citizen Climate Lobby.
