A Carbon Trading System Worth Saving
Source: nytimes.com


The European Union became a pioneer in tackling climate change by starting the first major cap-and-trade system designed to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by putting a price on them. But analysts are increasingly worried that technical mistakes, Europe’s prolonged recession and the failure of policy makers to strengthen the system are undermining its effectiveness.

Like all such systems, Europe’s program caps the overall emissions that power plants, steel mills and other industries can put into atmosphere. The cap, which is regulated through permits, declines every year, forcing businesses to become more efficient or buy permits from another firm or on the open market.

Recently, the price of permits has collapsed to less than 4 euros (around $5.25) per ton of carbon, down from nearly 30 euros in 2008. This is troubling because the low price discourages emitters investing in climate-friendly technologies and fuels. In Britain, for instance, electric utilities have cut back on cleaner-burning natural gas and are using more coal, which puts roughly twice as much carbon into the atmosphere.

There are several reasons for the sharp drop in carbon prices. European governments issued too many permits in the first place because they miscalculated how many would be needed to achieve their goals. And the recession, high unemployment and weak demand for electricity have cut industrial emissions to the point where companies simply do not have to buy allowances to meet their caps. European policy makers haven’t helped either. Earlier this month, the European Parliament considered temporarily tightening the overall cap to boost the price of allowances. But opposition by several countries that rely heavily on coal torpedoed the measure.

What is most worrying about the drop in the price of carbon is that it could discourage policy makers elsewhere in the world, including Washington, from addressing climate change if they conclude that Europe’s experience is a bust. Several national and state governments have started or are pursuing similar approaches.

But the news from Europe is not all bad. Emissions have fallen by 14 percent among sectors covered by the program in countries that have participated since 2005. Analysts attribute much of that reduction to the cap on emissions, not the recession. The system could work even better if Europe’s leaders find the ingenuity to strengthen it and the political courage to weather the criticism that could result from higher electricity prices.

In addition to its trading scheme, Europe has made real progress in dealing with climate change through policies encouraging energy efficiency and renewable sources of power like wind and solar. But nothing would do more to drive down emissions than putting a meaningful price on them, either through a carbon tax or through a cap-and-trade system. Europe’s job is to put that system on a sounder footing to make sure it doesn’t undo the real progress it has made.

ĐÁP ÁN
Dưới đây là đáp án của bài, mọi người bôi đen để đọc nhé.


1.        Answer the following questions:
-        What does the word “the cap” in line 6 refer to?
        The cap refers to the European’s climate change tackling program that caps the overall emissions that power plants, steel mills and other industries can put into atmosphere.

-        Why is the collapse of the price of permits troubling?
        The price of permits’ collapse is troubling because the low price discourages emitters investing in climate-friendly technologies and fuels.

-        Why did the carbon’s price drop sharply?
        The carbon’s price dropped sharply because of 2 reasons. Firstly, European governments issued too many permits in the first place due to the miscalculation on the needed number of permits to achieve their goals. Secondly, high unemployment and weak demand for electricity have cut industrial emissions to the point where companies simply do not have to buy allowances to meet their caps.

-        What is the most worrying effect of the drop of carbon’s price?
        The most worrying effect of the drop in the price of carbon is that it could discourage policy makers from addressing climate change if they conclude that Europe’s experience is useless.

-        How did European countries do to deal with climate change?
        Beside the cap and trade system, European countries have dealt with climate change through policies encouraging energy efficiency and renewable sources of power like wind and solar.

2.        What is the main idea of the article?
Although the EU cap-and-trade system on tackling climate change has faced difficulties on technical mistakes, the prolonged recession and the failure of policy makers, its cap of emission still brought about effective progress.

Summary:
3 ý chính của bài Summary:
-        Introduction to the EU cap and trade system.
-        The obstacles that the program has to face with and its results.
-        Conclusion and solutions.


Sau đây là bài tham khảo:
The European Union has been the first one tackling climate change by starting the first major cap-and-trade system designed to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by putting a price on them. Technical mistakes, Europe’s prolonged recession and the failure of policy makers to strengthen the system are undermining the program’s effectiveness. However, the cap on emissions has brought about positive results, the emissions have fallen by 14 percent among sectors covered by the program in participating countries since 2005. The system could work even better when being strengthened with the political courage. Therefore, the EU program is worth continuing. Its system should be put on a sounder footing to make sure it doesn’t undo the real progress it has made.

Chào cả nhà, hôm nay chúng ta tiếp tục với đề tài ENVIRONMENT nhé. Vì bài trước màu chữ khó nhìn nên lần này mình để chữ đen nhé.

Sea level rise


Sea levels around the world are rising. Current sea-level rise potentially affects human populations (e.g., those living in coastal regions and on islands) and the natural environment (e.g., marine ecosystems). Between 1870 and 2004, global average sea levels rose 195 mm (7.7 in). From 1950 to 2009, measurements show an average annual rise in sea level of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm per year, with satellite data showing a rise of 3.3 ± 0.4 mm per year from 1993 to 2009, a faster rate of increase than previously estimated. It is unclear whether the increased rate reflects an increase in the underlying long-term trend.

Two main factors contributed to observed sea level rise. The first is thermal expansion: as ocean water warms, it expands. The second is from the contribution of land-based ice due to increased melting. The major store of water on land is found in glaciers and ice sheets.

Sea level rise is one of several lines of evidence that support the view that the climate has recently warmed. It is very likely that human-induced (anthropogenic) warming contributed to the sea level rise observed in the latter half of the 20th century.

Sea level rise is expected to continue for centuries. In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projected that during the 21st century, sea level will rise another 18 to 59 cm (7.1 to 23 in), but these numbers do not include "uncertainties in climate-carbon cycle feedbacks nor do they include the full effects of changes in ice sheet flow". More recent projections assessed by the US National Research Council (2010) suggest possible sea level rise over the 21st century of between 56 and 200 cm (22 and 79 in).

On the timescale of centuries to millennia, the melting of ice sheets could result in even higher sea level rise. Partial deglaciation of the Greenland ice sheet, and possibly the West Antarctic ice sheet, could contribute 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) or more to sea level rise.
