In the West we have lots of regulations to prevent climate damage. In 2nd and 3rd World Countries not so much. When you are poor, you don't care about 1st World problems. So it is a lot better for the planet if production is done in well developed Countries with mature industries. The consumer Countries need a Carbon Tax on all their imports. A tariff on all imports depending on the added emission value of the product. Getting detailed reliable data is near impossible. The best we can do is a percentage based on ( Carbon use / GDP ) of the exporting Country.

Carbon tax is a necessary way to go but in must include subsidies and incentives and rebates. Allowances make sense to big businesses but they need to be given to people as well. I bought an electric car and installed a heat pump to heat my home. I and others like me should be rewarded for this behavior as apposed to the person that drives a gas guzzler and heats their home with oil. It's going to take some economic pushing in the right direction to get this done.

Actually, there is virtually no difference between taxing companies and taxing customers. Since all companies income come (directly or through other companies) from customers - it's customer, who will eventually get less goods for his of work. Example: if I drive to shop to buy someting, I release CO2 from gas. But if I order a delivery, it's Fedex, who releases it. But eventually it's the same situation - some CO2 was released for me to have some product at home. If we focus on companies and tax only Fedex then delivery will be more expensive, so I'll go myself. But it didn't change CO2 emission! In order to reduce CO2 emission we have to deal with all emissions to avoid substituting taxed emission with untaxed. And it doesn't matter, who physically owns the chimney or exhaust pipe - they all work to deliver value to customers, so reducing emission will result in less goods

Because if that is the case, the amount of money that the citizens have to give should be the same with or without the carbon tax; meaning that with the introduction of a new carbon tax, the government would end up collecting more money than needed and should therefore be able to lower taxes somewhere else, hence providing an incentive to lower carbon emission through the new tax without raising the overall tax pressure on citizens... right?

Cain & the Brain Drain its worth noting we have a massive deficit, any money could be allocated to reducing it

Tax Telemarketers. That should bring in money to pay for the carbon tax.

I'm mostly in favour of a carbon tax but I don't think that's enough before we even pass a carbon tax we need to get businesses to actually pay their taxes by lowering them so it isn't a burden on businesses to pay them to pay it and taking out loopholes and tax deductables. Afterwards when the carbon tax is introduced we also have to take out subsidies in the gas,oil, and coal industry and favour businesses that move to green energy with tax cuts. Anyone harmed from this will get the extra revenue from the tax and surplus from taking away the subsidies from the oil,coal and gas industry,

The cap and trade is less intriguing to me than the carbon tax. All the businesses can just buy a lot of those allowances and just pollute as much as they want. Also, i don't see how this is going to make people want to reseatch on other sources of energy. There can just be a LOT more of new old style energy production facilities and the problem wouldn't be solved.

Did you know that the US was able to lower emissions by 20% through fracking?

If we were to turn back time to a pre industrial existence, it would take several generations before we got back to where we were, if that is even possible.

If you study the economics of externalities, you can see why a carbon tax or an equivalent cap-and-trade policy are the most efficient way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. And the increases in the cost of greenhouse gas emissions can be offset by decreases in other taxes like was done in BC and this can be tailored so that it doesn't disproportionally hurt poor people or small businesses. Direct bans have their own problems. For a start, we don't have the technology to run a stable grid on more than a fraction (maybe up to 20%) wind and solar due to stability and storage concerns. Though we could replace a lot of the base load with nuclear, such things take a lot of time and may not have public support.

Considering solar costs less than normal electricity already, making carbon based electricity much more expensive would push a lot more people to switch.

The carbon tax as is would indeed be ineffectual, or even counter-productive. The tax might work if you gave a dynamic tax break every tax period to the working class equivalent to the increased cost for businesses that would inevitably pass down to the consumer. That way businesses actually have to eat the cost; Passing it down would mean the working class gets it back, meaning those businesses receive enough of a larger share of the tax burden that they don't get anything from passing it down overall.

why are indoor growers spending so much money on co2 generators if co2 is so bad?

This video is a bit miss leading. BC only lowered its carbon emission by 5% from 2005 to 2016 with its Carbon tax. Other Provenances reduced there Carbon emissions by 25 to 35% respectively without any Carbon tax. In addition BC’s emission have been steadily rising 1-2% from 2017 and 2018. As for the impact of its economy, that too is false, the GDP of the province has been pumped up by billions of tax dollars by the purchase of an old pipeline, not by private industry. A Carbon tax is not a substitution for good environmental policy, it’s only a means to separate your money from you. It’s also hurts people in lower incomes regardless if people get a check back from the government.

A carbon tax usually affects the poor rather than the rich.

Like every tax you need to make it fair (that is what yellow vest in france ask for). So the stuff you tax(car, plane etc) need to have an alternative that is not taxed (like bus etc) or that is not that much used by the poor(plane, boat etc). And the state benefit of taxes should comeback to the people fairly(poorest should benefit more) especialy if you tax car users. The one who pollute the most are the richest. Get people to pay 100%of their income beyond 20000$/month etc. Also the first problem in regard to pollution is our carnist society(and the debt/cost we pay due to heart disease, epidemics, cancer and other consequences of meat/fish/eggs/milk consumption). There is no way out if we keep carnist/specist policies.

BC is a special province that does not translate to the rest of the country. BC rarely has severe winter conditions that prevent the normal range of electric vehicles. Also BC has it's population very tight like European countries and there is not as much need for long distance driving compared to the rest of Canada. They should have started in a more challenging province like NFLD. So what was to total amount of emissions removed from BC's air and how much warmth did it decrease so far since it have been about 5 years?? I can't find that data.

Keep the tax, it allowed us to buy a car, now we get 20 free fill ups per year. Wonderful helped us our greatly

1:25 as simple as that?

The statement that solar power or windmills don't give off carbon emissions isn't exactly true. If you do a lifecycle analysis of these you will see that the embedded energy that went into creating them. That include carbon emissions. And if you look at the amount of years it takes for them to reach a point where they are balanced out to zero emissions based on the accrued amount, its around 6 years.

Alcohol consumption is not showing any sign of decline despite heavy taxation. Government greed is behind a carbon tax, the air is supposed to be a free good.

I completely support reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The only question is how do we reduce emissions. In 2015, the Lazard Bank published a levelized study on all major energy fuels (wind, solar, hydropower, natural gas, coal, nuclear, etc.). The study assumed there were zero government incentives and permitting for a power plant started on the same date. The final analysis showed that wind, solar and hydropower were cheaper sources of electricity than any fossil fuel (natural gas, coal or oil). Electricity generated from coal was double the cost of electricity of wind or solar. In 2005, coal generated 51% of America's electricity. In 2018, coal generates 29% of America's electricity. The primary driver for renewables has been tax credits for renewables. Today, the greatest road block for the development of new renewable energy projects is 1.) right of access laws to build new power lines from the wind farm/solar park to the customers, 2.) right of access laws for the new wind farms/solar parks to be built, as many people object to wind turbines as it spoils their view and 3.) economics. Many utilities are hesitant to close down fossil fuel plants that could still operate cost effectively for another 5, 10 or 15 years. Also, some utilities use coal to support the local coal mines in their state. In my opinion, the best path forward is renewable energy tax credits for renewable energy at the state and federal level. www.jackkerfoot.com

No to carbon tax. Climate change is normal. The sun and oceans are the main reasons for climate change go figure.

we could sanction only the 20 conpanies that put out 80% of all carbon emissions. like a carbon tax that is also proportional to the ammount of capital you own. rich people need to stop acting like taxes are the reason they raise prices and not their astronomical greed.

I don't know if it is the best way but I do think we must actively punish companies for this. My rationale is that the current model is make society pay for all the damage a company orchestrates while they walk away only with the profits. If a company gets in trouble for doing awful things they merely declare bankruptcy if the fines are too big. The board will walk away unharmed with millions of dollars to just do this same thing again with a new company. And this is even if they get in trouble at all. Find the nearest fresh water near your area in America. Chances are great that it fails tests for safety. Why? Numerous reasons but one that particularly frustrates me is coal burning. Coal burning spews mercury into the air. Half of all mercury emitted into the environment comes from coal. That's not just some random jerk on the internet saying this. Check the epa government website. That's alongside the Arsenic, SO2, Chromium, and other horrible stuff it also is pumping into the air like some kind of Ferngully monster. Until we actually start charging companies for the damage that they do there will be no incentive for them to change their ways. They currently get a free lunch. Imagine if everyone just threw their garbage on the ground and didn't get in trouble for it. This is basically what is happening. The world is turning into a cesspool just because a nearly 0 percent of human beings demanding unimaginably large amounts of wealth. And that's just one thing! The world is being destroyed by this model of privatized profits and socialized costs. If it doesn't stop the world won't end but people coming after me are going to be absolutely miserable. That's to say nothing of the horrors for the plants and animals around us that are here, and the even greater horrors for them on the horizon.

I'd look to California to model after. They have their pollution policies because they need them. We should adopt at least some of their practices before we "need to" in order to continue to abate climate change. If cap and trade works for them, then sure. If fossil fuel tax works, okay. If they found no benefit, then it probably wouldn't work in other places. California is a crucible, presenting extremes that the people there must deal with. It was California who got rid of their smog by both testing cars for pollution emissions and requiring only electric cars (?) in California. We can do this and set up wind farms and solar farms to reduce or remove the need for fossil fuels to make usable energy.

As someone who was born and raised in BC I can say that we have, in fact, experienced growth. People travel from all over the globe for our forests and fine wine.

Yeah, adding a 1 cent carbon tax is not going to solve the issue, but when the economy hasn't collapsed in two years, you can pass another bill to ramp it up.

Show me proof that carbon tax money taken from Swedes went to the underprivileged in some other country. No, it goes to the managers of the carbon tax to make richer and more powerful. "Carbon pricing is a policy that would make those who actually cause emissions pay for them (the richest people in the world that enjoy the best living conditions in human history), but most governments fail to implement carbon prices, and where they exist they are often too low (which has the consequence that the poorest people on the planet are ‘paying’ most for carbon emissions, since it is them who are suffering the severest consequences)." --World Economic Forum

We pay so much already at the pump that taxes cannot be the answer. If they haven't curbed our appetite by now, they never will. A carbon tax is a money grab. The ultimate answer to all our global problems must be to control our global population growth. People pollute and we have increased our global population so very much in the last 70 years or so. Sixty years ago the prestigious Club of Rome said that our global population had reached as high as it was safe to go. Since then we have more than doubled. The developed world has learned to control their breeding. The third world countries who refused to curb their growth should receive NO INTERNATIONAL AID AT ALL!!! It should be a deal. If you want help, help yourself by limiting population growth. And yes, we should be developing environmentally friendly energies. That is just common sense but don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Don't ask me to sacrifice when my sacrifice may do no good at all.

Carbon Tax is just a Tax, Nothing more and Needs to Go!

The issue with a Carbon Tax or Cap and Trade is that the consumer pays the cost. Most business's (Corporations) will pass through these fees to the end consumer. They will not be swayed to lower anything, much less use less of anything. Also, I am not of this generation, but Cadillac are not the issue. It is our Congressional Leaders who are not passing emission laws because of lobbyist. Greenhouse gases come form many sources and not just a gas vehicle. Many young people think take a car off the road is the answer. Why not work on ways to say scrub carbon from vehicle emissions rather then have everyone buying thousand dollar bikes made by Ford, GM, etc. Also, everyone knows part of the issue in 2021was that those wind turbines froze and caused major outages in Texas. So kind of a limited answer. The fossil fuels industry will only be out of business when we run out of fuel. I am sure we will be recycling people by then. Grandma and Grandpa are money in the bank, Baby.

"Six dollar gas" ? I assume you mean US$6 per US gallon, in which case that's about how much it costs to end consumers in the UK currently (£1.24 per litre, 3.7854118 litres per US gallon, 1.26204 US$ to 1 GBP). This is another case of the new thing not being bad in and of itself, but the *change* is what causes the pain. And with the cap and trade option, of *course* the affected companies will pass the costs on to the consumer. That then encourages consumers to shop around if possible, and should drive competition between the companies to lower their carbon emissions further.

That crack about the older generation screwing the younger generation is a joke. Every generation has said the same thing.

I care everybody needs help if I could I will help them will everything. also in your next video can you say Dracut ma Richardson middle school we know as RMS flyers

it i impossible to slow down climate change. It changes whether you want it to or not. It has changed dramatically and quickly in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Our temperatures and CO2 levels are at or very near historical lows over the last billion years. No where to go but up.

A ultimative price for greenhouse gases would simplify so many things. We wouldn't have to bother so much with the details of how to get to low-carbon - we just let the market work for us. An important question is how we value the potency of methane as a climate gas relative to CO2. There are 2 competing values, the Global Warming Potential (GWP100), which states that 1 kg methane ist 25 times as bad as 1 kg CO2, and Global Temperature Potential (GTP100), which has a value of about 4. I would prefer the latter, as it seems to be more accurate, or at least the mean value of GWP and GTP.

The critique of carbon tax that it harms poorer people left out the idea of dividends paid to households from the tax or fee charged on the coal, oil and gas companies. Carbon fee and dividend is the way to go!

A carbon tax is a step in the right direction, but it is a drop in the bucket of what needs to be done to save our a$$es. To my mind it seems that technology got us into this mess and hopefully it can get us out of it. Fossil fuels need to be completely replaced by renewable energy sources. Climate change reversal technologies such as carbon-capture systems need to be heavily funded, researched and implemented ASAP. Animal agriculture needs to end, and we need better agricultural and food tech such as clean meat. The list goes on.

c'est la vegan sounds like you’ve got a plan! It seems a push for replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is also gaining in popularity. Thanks for your thoughtful response

"The Older Generation have put us in a tough spot." What! I-Phones. A new one every year. Older generation? Clothes. How often have you been forced to use old clothes to patch up new ones, reuse wrapping paper or cut off buttons from old shirts so you have spares? The "older generation" used phones in emergencies, WALKED miles to the next supermarket, was driving around less in their cars - because they didn't have as many, and none of them were Humvees - and ate less food because they could not afford it. Yeah, those frugal people really screwed up the climate with their much lower emissions....

Sweden’s economy actually grew by 75% because of their carbon tax a believe. If that’s not an incentive for governments to enforce a carbon tax I don’t know what is.

it's a scam there tax me and give some of my money to outher people the golbel welfare and all so it communism.

And yes, ban sales of internal combustion engine vehicles. Norway is banning them by 2025 Or we could tax them something like 70% and use that money to build solar panels and for a larger EV credit.

where do you plan storing solar energy?

This is where trickle down economics will work. If you tax the manufacturer's, drillers, refineries, power companies, miners, etc. you spread that tax out so far around that when it gets to the consumer, we see a small increase. As much as the idea is to lower emission, that's not how our corporations run. They look for short term profits. Therefore, the tax should be reappropriated into an incentive program that companies can utilize to lower emissions, similar to the incentive for buying green vehicles. Now this all sounds great, but here's the futility of it all. We, the people, want to see climate change battled by the strongest most profitable companies, they have the resources to do it. Unfortunately, they have the resources to lobby legislature, too, and continue to play the short term profit game.

Expensive gas better for climate change?? But problem is we all like to eat.High carbon tax, high food cost!!! Just get over eating?????

a carbon tax does nothing for the environment

I think the argument that the working class would have to bear the cost of a carbon tax is nonsense. An added tax means more income for the government, this increased income could be used to promote tax cuts that would benefit the part of the population hit the most or agevolations for renewables. If done right, the average citizen would pay the same amount of taxes, just on different things. I'm aware that it all sounds easy in theory but if there's the will do something politicians whould find a way to make it happen, that's what they're paid to do.

Love the channel, but taxes are paid by people, even cap-and-trade "allowances". If you think government should make people give them more money so that government can run power generation, just go with "nationalize power production". Climate stabilization proponents need to be more direct, "Energy costs are too low and need to go higher to incentivize carbon-conservation". Alas, when you put it that way, as the French government did, your streets fill with protesters. Asking "Should we stop climate change?" it's a fake question, and that makes everybody falsely think there are a lot of people who want to stop climate change. Ask "Should we raise the cost of energy to stop climate change?" and you'll start to get better poll results, and sadly you'll find people don't want to stop climate change.

The big LIE

It's amazing how politically charged this common-sense issue has become. Those conservatives denying climate change will have some hard conversations with their children in their not so distant future.

Geez, please stop this nonsense…your trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.
