LASER TALK: Carbon Pricing is the Most Silver Bullet-ish Policy We Know Of LASER TALK: Carbon Pricing is the Most Silver Bullet-ish Policy We Know Of OPEN LETTER: Submission to the Canadian Response to the COVID Pandemic NEWS: Parliamentary e-Petition #e2542 Closes Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at 1:30 pm EDT Posted on June 15, 2020 in Laser Talk Carbon Pricing is the Most Silver Bullet-ish Policy We Know Of En-ROADS is a transparent, freely-available policy simulation model that provides us with the ability to explore, for ourselves, how various climate solutions would affect outcomes such as global temperature change. (Note that this simulator is for the entire globe and not just for Canada.) The goal in making the model is to frame and support better conversations about how to address the climate crisis. On April 30, 2020, Doug Pritchard of CCL Beaches-East York,Chemical Engineer, and En-ROADS Climate Ambassador led CCL Canada on a tour of the En-ROADS climate solutions simulator. On June 11, 2020, it was estimated in the En-ROADS simulator that just implementing a highly predictable carbon price would prevent 1.2 °C of global heating by 2100 compared to business as usual. Changing any other single policies in the simulator could prevent up to 0.5 °C of global heating by 2100. This makes implementing a highly predictable carbon price by far the most impactful single policy change in preventing global temperature increase in the simulator. To prevent the worst impacts of global heating, we need a whole suite of policy changes. Of them, making carbon pricing predictable is by far the most effective one we know of.
