Nearly every news day we hear about the carbon tax. Many support it and many oppose it. Julia Gillard says it will cut emission whilst others just think it will drive up prices. The analysis undertaken by simulating the impact of a carbon tax of $23 a tonne reveals some interesting

significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. It has been claimed that an Australian carbon tax will have no significant impact on the level of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. This claim has been made on two bases. Firstly that it is unlikely to succeed in significantly reducing Australian greenhouse gas emissions and secondly‚ that even if these emissions were to stop completely this would have no useful effect on world greenhouse gas emission rates. Critics of a carbon tax for Australia

for reducing carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases (that are believed by many scientists to be causing global warming). According to the case‚ the carbon-tax and a cap-and-trade system are the best economic tool to employ to reduce emissions. As we know‚ taxes are the most important expense for a company or firm‚ if they would emit much more carbon dioxide and other gases‚ they need to pay more taxes on using carbon recourses. It is stated (Bubna-Litic & Chalifour 2012) that ‘One of

of carbon emissions across the supply chain. Companies today operate in a carbon-constrained world. In particular‚ the automobile industry is under pressure to take a close look at its product carbon footprint. Managing the downstream consequences of the use of its products and inputs from upstream suppliers is critical for developing carbon risk-mitigated supply chain management. This paper is of benefit to academics and managers by providing a new way to integrate carbon emissions in supply

their basic needs however‚ aviation has impacted on the social and environmental concerns locally and globally. The local concerns include aircraft noise for people living in the airport vicinity and beneath flying paths‚ air pollution due to the emission of Nitrogen oxides and other gases and other impacts including habitat destruction and contamination of land and water. Communities living around congested airports can be seen as not meeting sustainability demands. This can be seen in the complaints

nations or governments had implemented plans that would help reduce the emissions emitting from power plants‚ buildings‚ appliances household‚ and automobiles; the plans are “cap and trade system” and “carbon tax plan” (Samaras). With the cap and trade system‚ the governments sets a emission target on polluters of how much emission they can produce‚ and grants slips to firm if they need to produce over the target emission level. For carbon tax‚ it is a tax imposed on users that burn fossil fuel

PROBLEM? Christoph Böhringer a ‚ Knut Einar Rosendahl b and Jan Schneider c Abstract In the abscence of a global agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions‚ individual countries have introduced national climate policies. Unilateral action involves the risk of relocating emissions to regions without climate regulations‚ i.e.‚ emission leakage. A major channel for leakage are price changes in the international oil market. Previous studies on leakage have assumed competitive behaviour in
