A team of researchers found that the fairness of final economic outcomes does not significantly rely on the fairness of initial allocation methods. They suggest alternative fair and acceptable rules for sharing cost burdens while ensuring cost-effectiveness. Developing countries must prioritize equitable outcomes, mitigate costs, and p...
New RFF issues brief examines interactions between climate change policies and the tax system. Research suggests that reducing carbon emissions may produce economic benefits when revenues from pollution control are used to reduce other taxes, potentially offsetting added costs. However, policy approaches can significantly impact costs.
Research by University of Georgia forester Dr. Bob Teskey and colleagues found that managed timber stands can benefit from higher CO2 levels due to improved photosynthesis. The study's results suggest pine trees are better adapted to increased CO2, with positive responses from other species as well.
Researchers discover large areas of non-volcanic carbon dioxide vents in Italy, contributing significantly to atmospheric CO2 levels. The 200-mile area between Florence and Naples produces an enormous amount of carbon dioxide, but its measurement has never been attempted before.
A Duke University study suggests that plants may shunt excess atmospheric carbon dioxide into groundwater to remain stored away for thousands of years. This could help solve the mystery of missing CO2 in the atmosphere and potentially lower predicted impacts of global warming.
