Awareness is rising within society about climate change and the role of carbon emissions. New regulations may be coming that will require compilation of greenhouse gas emissions by industry, and programs will likely result in carbon emissions trading or perhaps a carbon tax. This session provides an overview of the history behind the regulatory and economic market changes associated with environmental issues over the past 50+ years and includes speculation on adaptation to these changes.
