The Economics of Climate Change: Report
By:"Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. Select Committee on Economic Affairs"
Published on 2005-01-01 by The Stationery Office
This report examines the economic aspects of climate change under the headings: the uncertain science of climate change; future impacts of the enhanced greenhouse effect; forecasting greenhouse gas emissions and temperature change; the cost of tackling climate change; benefits of climate change control; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) process; international negotiations. The Committee think that the role of economic policy instruments and in the control of greenhouse gas emissions and economic arguments have not had sufficient attention in the debates over climate change. They want HM Treasury to have a more extensive role in examining costs and benefits of policy and in the work of the IPCC process, which they suspect is overly influenced by political considerations. Other conclusions include the need for: better information on the monetary costs of global warming; more adaptive measures; the retention of nuclear power capacity; the replacement of the Climate Change Levy with a carbon tax; new international protocols which are not tied to emission targets.
