Global emissions of greenhouse gases jumped 2.3 percent in 2013 to record levels, scientists reported Sunday, in the latest indication that the world remains far off track in its efforts to control global warming. The emissions growth last year was a bit slower than the average growth rate of 2.5 percent over the past decade, and much of the dip was caused by an economic slowdown in China, which is the world’s single largest source of emissions. It may take an additional year or two to know if

Can Grass Be Stronger than A Tree? Abstract: As population increases and global warming changes the environment, the strains on our atmosphere and land become obvious. Our forests and jungles are the largest consumer of CO2 we have and are in dangerous decline. Deforestation and jungle destruction not only reduces biodiversity and wildlife refuges, but also contributes to global warming. In order to preserve our forests, we need to find new ways to reduce our dependency on wood. Since bamboo

for how to think about this problem—and it's more than just an invisible hand. For 30 years now, officials have been groping toward a system in which greenhouse-gas emitters all around the world can trade permits. GHG reductions achieve the same global atmospheric benefit regardless of where they occur, but because industries and firms have different costs of reduction, it makes economic sense to allow them to trade permits. That way we can lower emissions for less money. But a crucial sticking
