Emission of greenhouse gas

  1. Why won’t stopping the emission of greenhouse gas (if such a thing were even possible) prevent climate change from happening?
  2. What is the elasticity of demand? Why is that important when discussing the distributional impacts of a carbon price?
  3. What is a “tipping point?” How does that apply to the study of climate change?
  4. How long have people known about the possibility of human caused climate change?
