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.

De que maneira a mundialização está inserida no processo de globalização?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

A mundialização é o processo pelo qual uma situação ou característica específica de uma determinada região geográfica se torna conhecida, analisada e interpretada em nível global, para que todos tenham conhecimento e a analisem e a considerem de acordo com sua própria cultura e idiossincrasia.

Um exemplo claro de mundialização é a integração de elementos culturais americanos nas culturas de outras nações, como conseqüência da expansão cultural dos EUA por Hollywood, por exemplo, na incorporação da palavra "Ok" como significado de "tudo bom" na grande maioria das línguas do mundo.

Esse processo é favorecido pela globalização, entendida como o processo de interconexão comunicacional e tecnológica que permite a transmissão de grandes quantidades de informações entre os países do mundo.
