[ghgblog] ghgblog » Blog Archive » Call for Harmonization of U.S. Climate ...: Given the ubiquitous nature of carbon - it touches all people, and the sheer magnitude of the problem - based on IPCC targets we are looking at policy prescriptions imposing costs as a percentage of GDP on a scale not seen globally since the Second World War, and so it is critical that the policy design allows each industry, policymakers and regulators time and the flexibility to adjust as we learn. Compared to our ideal rapid abatement scenarios, we would advocate bias in system designs towards 1) faster starting and less aggressive targets with higher prices on lower volumes in the early years as policymakers, industry, and regulators learn how much the industry can actually do, with 2) broader and more multi-lateral inclusion in the early days when volumes are low coupled with tighter verification requirements as volumes rise, with 3) rapidly escalating caps, more aggressive abatement targets and lower prices on higher abatement volumes in later years.  This likely means a framework and principles approach to legislation, leaving regulators with greater rather than lesser flexibility, and is far superior to a prescriptive approach where the economic and trade impacts of early design flaws last for a significant period of time.
