El libre comercio reduce el calentamiento global

Tim Wilson, del Institute of Public Affaris australiano, sostiene que los aranceles ralentizan la expansión de tecnologías más limpias:

The global market for environmental goods and services is worth between USD$550 billion and USD$613 billion per annum. Of this figure, 35 per cent is in goods and 65per cent in services. Yet some countries impose tariffs of up to 70 per cent on these technologies. In Asia and Latin America the average tariff on environmentally sensitive technologies is between 15 and 20 per cent. If the governments of developing countries want to promote the transfer of CO2 mitigation technologies, they can do something immediately—remove their tariff barriers.
