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.
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.
A carbon tax makes it expensive to emit greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Therefore if a company want to avoid paying this tax it has to change its methods or invest in new equipment that will reduce the amount they emit and therefore have to pay in carbon tax. the large amounts of companies undertaking this activity results in large amounts of greenhouse gasses not being emitted, therefore slowing global warming.
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.
It protects the environment and lowers carbon emissions because the tax encourages industry to become cleaner, greener and less polluting.
Conservative politicians have used it to scare people.
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 tax is paid by industries and companies that emit carbon dioxide. This encourages them to clean up their factories and workplaces so that they become cleaner, greener, and less polluting. Reducing carbon emissions will slow global warming. In Australia the tax is used to compensate consumers for any resulting rising prices.
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.
Julia Gillard is the Prime Minister of Australia, and therefore holds the highest political position in the country. In essence, she runs the country.
Australia began paying compensation payments to consumers during June 2012.

The carbon tax in Australia will be paid by the big polluters, the industries that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. The aim of the carbon tax is not to get money; it is to encourage industries to clean up their work practices and factories so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Any reduction will slow the rate of global warming. Some prices may rise within an allowable limit, that is monitored, so any company overcharging will be prosecuted. The money collected is being used to compensate consumers for this rise in prices.
In Australia the money is used to compensate consumers for rising prices. This is done by a regular payment.
Australia's carbon tax means that factories and industries that pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide have two choices.They can buy permits that allow them to keep pumping out CO2, orThey can change their industries to slow the CO2 and so cut their payments.The carbon tax will actually help the environment, as it will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, reducing the levels of greenhouse gases and slowing global warming.
