Answer: A) Under emissions trading programs, pollution levels will not fall sufficiently for optimal abatement.

Explanation:

First conceived in the seventies to fight acid rain and now useful in the battle against climate change, emissions trading is a program targeted at reducing emission by companies.

Under this scheme, every company that produces emissions will need to hold a permit for a limited amount. If they produce more than their stated limit, they would need to buy from other permit holders who produce lower emissions.  

While this program can set a limit of total emissions, it will not succeed in reducing pollution levels below this limit.

The United States buys much of its oil from OPEC countries. How would an increase in prices affect the daily lives of people in
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

The OPEC oil embargo was an event where the 12 countries that made up OPEC stopped selling oil to the United States. The embargo sent gas prices through the roof. Between 1973-1974, prices more than quadrupled. The embargo contributed to stagflation.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) then took over, ruling the oil markets and oil prices in the years that followed. However, with the discovery of shale oil in the U.S. and advances in drilling techniques, the U.S. has since re-emerged as a top energy producer.
