Climate Talks Should Fix CO2 Price, Not Cap, Neuroscientist Says

United Nations climate envoys should set a carbon price rather than fix a global cap on greenhouse-gas emissions, cutting the complexity of international negotiations, said a neuroscientist.

Developing nations may accept a global harmonized carbon price as long as they receive the money from setting that amount as well as a portion of funds raised by developed nations that have mostly caused climate change, said David Silverstein, a neuroscientist with an interest in climate negotiations. He’s a researcher and teacher at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
