The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process

Den svenska skattepolitiken leder till minskad välfärd, tappad internationell konkurrenskraft och ökade samhällsklyftor.
