"Peter Barnes is right. The best and most efficient way to reduce global warming isn't a cap-and-trade system that gives historic polluters free rights to pollute in the future, and it's not a carbon tax that hits poor and middle-income Americans especially hard. It's a cap-and-auction with rebates to all Americans. Read this useful guide and see why." --Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor

This guide explains carbon capping so that citizens can understand and shape it. The easy-to-read guide describes three different ways to cap carbon: cap-and-giveaway, cap-and-auction, and cap-and-rebate. It explains how if done right, a carbon cap is the single best tool to fight climate change, but if done wrong, will transfer hundreds of billions of dollars from families to corporate polluters. Mandatory reading for every American.

In Who Owns the Sky?, visionary entrepreneur Peter Barnes redefines the debate about the costs and benefits of addressing climate change. He proposes a market-based institution called a Sky Trust that would set limits on carbon emissions and pay dividends to all of us, who collectively own the atmosphere as a commons.

Our belief is that, with much nurturance and support, a vibrant commons sector can, in time, protect nature, reduce inequality among humans, and improve the quality of life for rich and poor alike. Moreover, we believe that sector can grow from the seeds we see today. The purpose of this report is thus two-fold: first, to celebrate the seeds that are already emerging, and second, to suggest how, taken together and multiplied, they can grow into something powerful enough to change the world. Printed copies of this report are available for a small charge to cover postage. _office@onthecommons.org_
