Fmr. UN IPCC’s Dr. Richard Tol: ‘New scenarios, Same old story’

Dr. Richard Tol: “The market for carbon dioxide is saturated. No one will capture CO2 unless subsidized. Those subsidies are substantial in scenarios of rapid decarbonization: They are comparable in size to public spending on defense, education, or even health care. Bioenergy need not cost much if you do it in large, mechanized monoplantations on cheap soils. It is hard to see this work out politically.”
