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.
No Carbon Tax Climate Sceptics was created in 2009.
A carbon cap is the alternative to a carbon tax.
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.
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.
Carbon tax is normally paid by industries that emit carbon dioxide. It is designed to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions, because industries will try to become greener so as to avoid paying the tax.
A carbon tax will help to slow carbon dioxide emissions, as polluting industries will clean up their factories to avoid paying the tax. Industries that are green and sustainable are helping to save the world.
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.
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.
Finland
It protects the environment and lowers carbon emissions because the tax encourages industry to become cleaner, greener and less polluting.
Yes. A carbon tax is paid by polluters, such as owners of fossil fuel power stations. The more carbon they emit, the more tax they pay. They don't like paying tax, so they will make efforts to reduce their emissions. The tax raised can be used to encourage renewable energy projects which will reduce the demand for fossil fueled energy, putting more pressure on the polluters to do better.
