Rationale

Carbon pricing, cap-and-trade, and CCS debates all converged on the need for measurable emissions reduction. Market-based solutions debate (nid 34691) reached consensus that carbon pricing generates revenue for green infrastructure reinvestment. Current 670 Mt baseline reduced to 580 Mt reflecting cumulative policy effect. Chain: carbon_emissions -> climate targets alignment.
