What specific measures might we take to mitigate the effects of climate change? Know here the
debates surrounding carbon tax vs. cap-and-trade, the controversy surrounding the Kyoto
Protocol, and the idea of "internalizing externalities." correct answers A carbon tax sets the price
of carbon emissions and lets the market determine the quantity of emissions reduced. Cap-and-
trade sets a limit for carbon emissions and allows the carbon credits to be traded. The market sets
the price for carbon credits. The Kyoto protocol was completely ineffective. Some argue it was
structured to allow the developed nations to continue business as is. 'Externalities' is the
economic word for side effects. Internalizing them is including the negative (or positive) side
effects in the prices. An example is cap and trade.
