    Leibowitz: Steel and aluminum intensity—the trade implications

    Written by Lewis Leibowitz

    This year saw a huge increase in debate and proposals for addressing greenhouse-gas emissions, not only here in the US but around the world.

    All the angst about a climate catastrophe, including rising sea levels, more intense and frequent hurricanes, etc., has not led the world closer to an effective program to do something about it. The global climate conference (COP 28 in Dubai) reflects that reality. While many world leaders are attending, China’s President Xi and US President Biden are not.

However, the Framework is only a guidepost. It must be implemented correctly to make an impact as new problems loom.
