Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK December 26, 2017 The world's biggest polluter, China is rolling out the world's most ambitious plan to reduce emissions. This project would make polluting companies pay for the greenhouse gas they spew in the air. It is set to break the record for the largest carbon market ever rolled out.

Selva + 252 SP December 26, 2017 EU tried the same thing in 2005 but didn't succeed because it issued too many free allowances so the most companies didn't have to buy them. In return the price collapsed. Maybe China will have more luck with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
