As above, this is a very common misunderstanding of the very point of a carbon tax: it is not, not at all, in order to stop climate change.

Which is the whole point of a carbon tax.

To win certification, Rimba Raya has to show that the forest is under genuine threat: no point in giving carbon credits for conserving trees and peatland that were not in danger anyway.
The science of global warming is politically controversial but generally accepted as fact by most researchers, who point to heat-trapping carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels as the major cause.
The point of this fact is that carbon filament capacitive storage devices would be able to match or beat the range of similarly sized chemical batteries.
Critics point out, for instance, that carbon dioxide does not just warm the atmosphere.
Since the whole point of the credits is to cut carbon, double-counting them makes a mockery of the system.
The researchers caught an intermediate step in the process by which hydrogen is removed from tryptamine, namely the point at which a proton disappears from a carbon atom as the carbon-hydrogen bond breaks.
When the doomsayers say Newt is believing in a Deus ex machine to dramatically cut carbon dioxide emissions, he might point out that those were the same folks who, only a very few years ago, told us we were running out of natural gas.
In that pre-carbon offset as investment world, the point of mass environmentalism through media was mostly public awareness.
Carbon-Nomex might be prone to point-puncture, but glazed into panels in this format, a good solid smack means precisely nothing to it.
When I talked to Krupp a day after the panel he said one of the big challenges was just measuring methane emissions from fracking and determining the break-even point where any fugitive emissions would not exceed the carbon savings from replacing coal.
While 3C hasn't gotten to the point of discussing the cost of putting a global carbon market in place, none of its members would have a stake in the game if they didn't see big profits to be made in going green.
They also point to a vast body of research pointing to rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to be the cause.
But the report says more study is needed, since no since no large-scale carbon-capture projects are running at this point.
It got to the point where someone even posted a graph detailing the levels of carbon dioxide in the air.
And we have worked with China and India to bring them along in this process to the point where they have now released specific goals for decreasing their carbon intensity between now and 2020.
Fusa Miyake discovered Carbon-14 and Beryllium-10 traces in tree rings from the era, which point to a gamma ray burst from a celestial body other than the Sun.
ENGADGET: Alt-week 1.26.13: quadruple DNA helixes, Byzantine mutants and battling hospital bugs
If you go higher than that, there are other tipping points, especially the release of carbon in the tundra and the things frozen in the tundra region, and that tipping point means it becomes very nonlinear and all of a sudden--boom!
The point of the project, which should be completed by 2014, is to allow Nepal to participate in international carbon-trading schemes that pay poor countries with lots of trees not to cut them down.
