WASHINGTON Within this decade, the United States will cut its greenhouse gas emissions in half, China will begin phasing down its coal consumption, and Brazil will end illegal deforestation. That is, if these leading polluters live up to the pledges they made Thursday at a global climate summit organized by the White House.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is essentially open to a carbon tax, a significant shift in the business groupâs strategy as it seemingly moves to get ahead of aggressive action favored by the Biden administration.
In remarks to the Washington Examiner, Martin Durbin, Chamber of Commerceâs Global Energy Institute, said, âThe business community has got to be a big part of the solution to climate change. . Clearly, there is consensus favoring a market-based approach, as opposed to a command-and-control regulatory approach.â
While the Chamber of Commerce is still not ready to endorse carbon pricing outright, it appears the group sees it as more favorable than mandates and regulations preferred by some Democrats.
