• Other Barriers

  • Anti-dumping duties: In international trade, dumping refers to a form of predatory pricing in which exported products are priced below the cost of production or below the price charged in the home market.
  • Anti-dumping duties are usually extra taxes levied on the product to neutralize the predatory pricing and bring the price closer to the "normal value. "
  • In that respect, countervailing duties are similar to anti-dumping duties in that they both bring a imported product's value closer to the "normal value. "

• Trading blocs and agreements

  • One of the potentially interesting results of trade agreements like NAFTA is that many products previously restricted by dumping laws, laws designed to keep out foreign products, would be allowed to be marketed.

  • In 1993, about 40 nations, counting the European Community as one, had anti-dumping legislation.

  • Indeed, the Hooker Chemical Company dumped toxic waste into the abandoned Love Canal in Niagara Falls and sold the land without disclosing the dumping.

• Global Warming Revisited

  • This brings up two important points: optimized heat sinks are at absolute zero, and the longer engines dump heat into an isolated system the less efficient engines will become.
  • As more heat is dumped into the environment, Earth's atmospheric (or heat sink) temperature will increase.
  • Describe effect of the heat dumped into the environment on the Earth’s atmospheric temperature

• Tax Protests

  • The Boston Tea Party of 1773, the most popular example, dumped British tea into Boston Harbor because it contained a hidden tax Americans refused to pay.

• Diverse Cell Forms of Methanogens

  • Methanosarcina acetivorans is a versatile methane producing microbe which is found in such diverse environments as oil wells, trash dumps, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and oxygen-depleted sediments beneath kelp beds.

• Political Environment

  • One of the results of trade agreements like NAFTA is that many products previously restricted by dumping laws - laws designed to keep out foreign products - can be marketed.
