Some disadvantages of a carbon tax in Australia include potential impacts on certain industries like mining and manufacturing, which may face increased production costs and decreased competitiveness. Critics also argue that a carbon tax could disproportionately affect low-income households through higher prices for goods and services. Additionally, there are concerns about the effectiveness of a carbon tax in actually reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
No Carbon Tax Climate Sceptics was created in 2009.
It depends on which country you are talking about. In Australia the carbon tax will only be paid by large emitters of carbon dioxide. This will encourage them to reduce their emissions. Compensation will be paid to most people to cover any rises in prices arising from the carbon tax.
A carbon cap is the alternative to a carbon tax.
I guess it is Finland. Finland imposed carbon tax in 1990.finland
Yes we should have a carbon tax because it encourages companies that pollute with carbon dioxide to reduce their emissions. This will be better for the world and for everyone in it.
We have a carbon tax to encourage polluters to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they emit. If they have to pay for it then they will search for cleaner and greener ways of running their industries.
It could not be done, the world can not produce that much electricity.
Five examples of carbon taxes include Sweden's carbon tax, which is one of the highest in the world and aims to reduce emissions by encouraging cleaner energy use; British Columbia's carbon tax, which has been effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while promoting economic growth; France's carbon tax, implemented to meet climate goals; Norway's carbon tax, which targets emissions from fossil fuels; and the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), which functions similarly to a carbon tax by setting a price on carbon emissions through a cap-and-trade mechanism. Each of these initiatives aims to incentivize lower carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices.

Australia has imposed a carbon tax, not on its people, but on the major carbon polluters. The tax will be fully used to compensate people for any rising prices, and to fund research and development of renewable energy.
