Описание книги

The Earth is getting warmer. Yet, as Hans-Werner Sinn points out in thisprovocative book, the dominant policy approach--which aims to curb consumption offossil energy--has been ineffective. Despite policy makers' efforts to promotealternative energy, impose emission controls on cars, and enforce toughenergy-efficiency standards for buildings, the relentlessly rising curve of CO2output does not show the slightest downward turn. Some proposed solutions aredownright harmful: cultivating crops to make biofuels not only contributes to globalwarming but also uses resources that should be devoted to feeding the world'shungry. In The Green Paradox, Sinn proposes a new, more pragmaticapproach based not on regulating the demand for fossil fuels but on controlling thesupply. The owners of carbon resources, Sinn explains, are pre-empting futureregulation by accelerating the production of fossil energy while they can. This isthe Green Paradox expected future reduction in carbon consumption hasthe effect of accelerating climate change. Sinn suggests a supply-side solution: inducing the owners of carbon resources to leave more of their wealth underground.He proposes the swift introduction of a Super-Kyoto system--gatheringall consumer countries into a cartel by means of a worldwide, coordinatedcap-and-trade system supported by the levying of source taxes on capital income--tospoil the resource owners' appetite for financial assets.
