81: Political Prep: Carbon Pricing, Net Zero, + The Paris Climate Accord

It’s Election Day! We’re gearing up to hear about a lot of different environmental plans this next campaign season, so this episode is breaking down the basics to help you better determine which policies really speak to you. We’re talking about carbon pricing – explaining the difference between a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade policy – plus all the ways we can label net zero emissions. We’ll touch on the Paris Climate Accord, and how the U.S. leaving may have major economic implications. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with politics, but this episode will ideally help you quickly realize what certain plans are really about. Episode 69: What Is The Carbon Budget?
