Foreword The Australian Greenhouse Office commissioned The Allen Consulting Group to consult with industry and other stakeholders and provide independent advice on permit allocation options under a possible national emissions trading system. This report represents The Allen Consulting Group's findings. The Australian Greenhouse Office is releasing this report in the interest of informing and pr...
During the last decade, Norway has carried out an ambitious climate policy by implementing a relatively high carbon tax already in 1991. The Norwegian carbon taxes are among the highest in the world. Data for the development in CO2 emissions provide a unique opportunity to evaluate carbon taxes as a policy tool for CO2 abatement. We combine a divisia index decomposition method and applied gener...
As society faces the urgent need to mitigate climate change, it is critical to understand how various ecosystems contribute to the climate, and to express these contributions in terms that are meaningful to policymakers, economists, land managers, and other nonscience interest holders. Efforts to mitigate climate change call for quantification of the full greenhouse gas (GHG) effects of land us...
doi:10.1289/ehp.11562 Cohn et al. (2008) suggested that birth cohort trends in breast cancer rates for women under 50 years of age are consistent with declining use of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) after 1959. They cited Weiss (2007) in claiming that increased detection and treatment of in situ breast cancer must be considered when interpreting recent trends in breast cancer mortality r...
A compact commercial Doppler lidar has been deployed in Indianapolis for two years to measure wind profiles and mixing layer properties as part of project to improve greenhouse measurements from large area sources. The lidar uses vertical velocity variance and aerosol structure to measure mixing layer depth. Comparisons with aircraft and the NOAA HRDL lidar generally indicate good performance, ...
Agriculture is responsible for a significant proportion of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (perhaps 18% globally), and therefore has the potential to contribute to efforts to reduce emissions as a means of minimising the risk of dangerous climate change. The largest contributions to emissions are attributed to ruminant methane production and nitrous oxide from animal waste and fert...
Changing food consumption patterns and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been a matter of scientific debate for decades. The agricultural sector is one of the major GHG emitters and thus holds a large potential for climate change mitigation through optimal management and dietary changes. We assess this potential, project emissions, and investigate dietary patterns and their changes...
The allocation of permits is an important design aspect of an emissions trading scheme. Traditionally, governments have favoured the free allocation of greenhouse gas permits based on individual historical emissions (‘grandfathering’) or industry benchmark data. Particularly in the European Union (EU), the free allocation of permits has proven complex and inefficient and the distributional impl...
Agriculture is a source for three primary greenhouse gases (GHGs): CO(2), CH(4), and N(2)O. It can also be a sink for CO(2) through C sequestration into biomass products and soil organic matter. We summarized the literature on GHG emissions and C sequestration, providing a perspective on how agriculture can reduce its GHG burden and how it can help to mitigate GHG emissions through conservation...
