The European Commission was preparing an appeal on Friday to wealthy countries — and to the United States in particular — to adopt carbon trading as the main system for curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Ezra Klein of the Washington Post interviewed one of the group's co-founders, Michael Shellenberger, on why a cap - and - and - trade system for emissions curbs was the wrong fit for the carbon problem.

As signs grew that the Senate was in no mood to set up a trading system for curbing carbon dioxide emissions, as I noted how the climate policy debate had circled back lately to the emissions - capping plan for power plants that had been proposed in the 2000 Bush campaign for the presidency, I found myself thinking about the vacuum that's persisted where President Obama should have been on this issue (if he planned to live up to his campaign commitments).

I've written an essay for Wednesday's Op - Ed page offering a short look at extreme weather in a warming world and the two prongs of the climate challenge — the need to limit human vulnerability to the worst the climate system can throw at us and to curb emissions that are steadily raising the odds of unwelcome outcomes, particularly extreme heat and either too much, or too little, water.

If a policy prescription does not account for the real complexity in the climate system, and real gaps in knowledge about aspects of global warming that matter most, is it likely that the public and lawmakers will pursue a big transformation of lifestyles and economic norms to curb CO2 emissions in a growing world still more than 85 percent dependent on burning fossil fuels to drive economies?

The National Academy of Sciences specifically called for a carbon tax on fossil fuels or a cap - and - trade system for curbing greenhouse gas emissions, calling global warming an urgent threat.

See for example Snubbed In Copenhagen, EU Weighs Climate Options, a Reuters piece that told us that «Officials acknowledge privately that the mandatory system for enforcing emissions curbs created by the 1997 Kyoto protocol is doomed because China won't accept any constraints on its future economic growth, and the United States won't join any agreement that is not binding on Beijing.»
