Abstract

At the background of the urgency of climate change, decreasing the emission of carbon is gaining the focus of academics and the populace. As the tool of carbon policy, carbon pricing, including a carbon tax and cap and trade, does not meet the expected achieving significant reduction in carbon emission, sparking a hot debate on the feasibility of current policy or regulations. By giving a rough sketch of carbon pricing, this article summarizes the rationales behind the failures of controlling carbon emission from political perspectives. It discusses the plights faced by the industries, the populace, and the industries, as well as mentions the discourse analysis of climate governance. After that, the article attempts to provide a new standpoint from criticism, hypothesizing the worship of data as a hinder to developing global carbon governance. At last, Kuhn’s theory is implemented to predict the future of carbon pricing, showing a perspective development of carbon pricing.
