Evaluating regulations, subsidies, pricing mechanisms, and hybrid policies. The latest, most urgent call to action from the IPCC has increased attention on policies to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. In its simplest form, a carbon tax or fee reduces emissions due to the elasticity effect.

As a result, climate change is already affecting every inhabited region on Earth, and impacts such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and permafrost melt are inevitable and near-irreversible, leaving only their extent open to question. Climate science should remain the hard basis for all decision making and target setting.
