摘要

ABSTRACT

Climate change is driven by a build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, predominantly the result of the world’s consumption of fossil fuels.  GHGs are a global pollution externality for which a global solution is required.  I describe the role a domestic carbon tax could play in reducing U.S. emissions and compare and contrast to alternative approaches to reducing our GHG pollution.  Carbon taxes have been implemented in twenty-seven jurisdictions around the world.  I provide evidence on emission reductions and economic impacts of the British Columbia carbon tax, a broad-based carbon tax that has been in effect for over a decade now.
