MIT report finds China’s actions on climate change crucial; argues for global economy-wide greenhouse gas tax

Green Car Congress

MAY 29, 2012

The report—titled “The Role of China in Mitigating Climate Change” and published in the journal Energy Economics , compares the impact of a stringent emissions reduction policy with and without China’s participation. Eighty percent of those emissions came from coal, making China the consumer of about half the world’s coal.

Black carbon (BC) is the second largest man-made contributor to global warming and its influence on climate has been greatly underestimated, according to the first quantitative and comprehensive analysis of this pollutant’s climate impact.

These fossil-fuel-based capacities will remain operational for decades and make greenhouse gas reduction efforts increasingly difficult.

The theme of the current issue of Nature is that the climate situation may be even worse than you think. Less than a quarter of the proven fossil fuel reserves can be burnt and emitted between now and 2050, if global warming is to be limited to two degrees Celsius (2 °C), according to a new study published in the journal Nature today.

Subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. The share of fossil fuels in global primary energy consumption falls from around 81% today to 75% in 2035. By contrast, subsidies for fossil fuels amounted to $409 billion in 2010. billion, around 20% of the world’s population.

The thousands of rocket launches needed to loft and maintain these space power stations would dump lots of soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the stratosphere, with uncertain climate impacts. But that might be mitigated, in theory, if space solar displaced fossil fuels and helped the world transition to clean electricity.
