Last week, on Black Friday, the Trump administration tried to bury a congressionally mandated report on the consequences of climate change.This nonpartisan assessment, produced by scientists across 13 federal agencies and departments, detailed the【C1】ob__________changes in the climate so far — and the dire and deadly risks that lie ahead if we remain on the same course.These include more frequent and intense natural disasters (hurricanes,droughts,floods,wildfires),huge public-health costs (worse air quality, greater【C2】__________(transmit) of disease through insects, food,water), and devastating economic damage to infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries, tourism.
The report refrained from making specific policy recommendations.But it did【C3】__________(press) the need for policymakers to do something to substantially curb greenhouse-gas emissions.Yet, as 【C4】__________, Republicans instead offered multiple, sometimes contradictory cop-outs for why they plan to do nothing.None of their excuses are【C5】 re__________to the fact that the fossil-fuel industry donates big money to the GOP, of course."I think it’s clear that the climate is changing and it’s clear that humans are a contributing factor," Sen.Ben Sasse said on "Fox News Sunday." "I think the real question, though, becomes what do you do about it? Because you can’t legislate or regulate your way into the past.We have to innovate our way into the future.On NBC’s "Meet the Press, Sen.Mike Lee (R-Ltah) also acknowledged that "the burning of fossil fuels isn’t the "healthiest for Planet Earth.Asked if he supported a carbon tax, though, he said,"No, if we’re going to move away from fossil fuels, it’s got to be done through innovation.And【C6】 __________(innovate) can be choked out through excessive government regulation.
Here’s the thing.Taxing carbon is exactly how you get faster innovation.That’s kinda the point.A carbon tax prices in, upfront, the hidden costs of burning fossil fuels, including【C7】po__________and the warming of the planet.In the near-term, a carbon tax disincentivizes the purchase of carbon-intensive products, of course.But over the longer-term, it also increases demand for — and thereby incentivizes the development of — cleaner, less-carbon-intensive【C8】_________.If you want to accelerate innovation in batteries, electric cars, solar, wind, etc., a carbon tax is a no-brainer.
Policymakers could also take action to crush the NIMBYism that 【C9】im_________offshore wind farms.Or they could discourage or even preempt lots of other stupid state and local rules and regulations.These include building codes that inhibit solar, or the unstandardized, jurisdiction -by -jurisdiction permitting process that makes installation more difficult.All of which is to say that prioritizing innovation and the cutting of red tape are not actually an excuse for inaction on climate change.In fact, they’re【C10】__________(key) to the solution.
