The Social Cost of Carbon. The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a key concept in the economics of climate change and related policy discussions of a carbon tax. Carbon taxes have recently become a major source of discussion in the Washington DC policy community. Supporters contend that they offer an efficient way to simultaneously create incentives to emit less carbon dioxide and reduce the budget deficit.1 Leading think tanks from both the left and the right.
A carbon tax set at a modest rate to begin—say $40 a ton of carbon dioxide—would easily allow us to meet our commitment under the Paris Climate Accord. Moreover, we could eliminate some subsidies to clean energy—saving taxpayer dollars—and put a number of environmental regulations on hold in the process. Abstract Recent years have seen renewed and growing interest in carbon taxes that put a price on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This resurgence in interest has come as over three-quarters of the world have developed Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and are looking for cost-effective ways to achieve these emission reduction : Partnership for Market Readiness.
If a climate policy reduces emissions simply by slowing the economy (and thus reducing energy usage), those reductions cannot rightly be claimed to make the economy cleaner or improve output relative to pollution. To gauge this policy effectiveness, AAF estimates “carbon intensity,” which is a measure of emissions relative to economic output. Australia introduced a carbon tax in , but it was then repealed by a conservative federal government in A number of European countries have established carbon taxation systems, each with different characteristics. In Canada, there is no country-level tax, but the provinces of Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta all tax : Larry West.

[Roger C Dower; Mary Beth Zimmerman] -- This report of the World Resources Institute recommends that the United States and other countries should use carbon taxes - pollution charges on fossil fuels reflecting their relative carbon content. Because most of the gases that cause climate change contain carbon in some form, the shorthand term for this policy is a “carbon price.” Yet.

The most widely-discussed are coal, oil, gasoline, and natural gas. When these carbon-rich fuels are burned they produce greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, create global warming by heating the atmosphere. The resultant climate disruption causes.
In my new book, "Paying for Pollution: Why a Carbon Tax Is Good for America," I lay out similar guiding principles. In my view, carbon taxation should be revenue-neutral, make the tax code fairer, streamline climate policy and lead to significant emission reductions.

A carbon tax is a tax levied on the carbon content of fuels (transport and energy sector) and, like carbon emissions trading, is a form of carbon term carbon tax is also used to refer to a carbon dioxide equivalent tax, the latter of which is quite similar but can be placed on any type of greenhouse gas or combination of greenhouse gases, emitted by any economic sector.
A Bill Clinton Council of Economic Advisers chair urged carbon taxes as more cost- and climate-effective than regulations and subsidies (New York Times, J ) Without a [carbon] tax, the government has to rely on second-best regulations to limit carbon emissions.
