markets work well and sometimes they do not. In the case of climate change‚ they are failing. Considered economically‚ climate change can be understood as a form of market failure associated with greenhouse gas pollution because the climate change that follows imposes costs on all people‚ not just the polluters. These costs include damage to their health‚ insurance costs (to protect against increased flooding ) or the costs of ‘climate-proofing’ our homes as the world gets hotter. There are several
