...idea is that if we have a number, we can compare the costs and benefits of efforts to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere," says Frank Ackerman, PhD, an economist specializing in climate change at the Stockholm Environment Institute's center at Tufts University. "If, say, we value CO2 damages at $20 a ton, then $15 per ton is considered an acceptable cost to ameliorate it. If the SCC is $2, spending $15 seems out of line." The other key statistical variable is the "discount rate," which establishes how to account for future costs and benefits in today's currency...

Cities such as London, Rome and Stockholm have started charging drivers a daily fee to enter "congestion zones" in their centers. In the U.S., states like Oregon, California and Massachusetts have mulled levying highway taxes based on the amount of mileage people drive. But the Dutch scheme is by far the most ambitious in the world because...
