    • 2 Pages

    Carbon tax is an environmental tax levied on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel ‚ such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. It is then released as carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. In contrast‚ non-combustion energy sources—wind‚sunlight‚ hydropower‚ and nuclear—do not convert hydrocarbons to CO2. CO2 is a heat-trapping "greenhouse" gas. Scientists have debated and discussed the potential effects on the climate system of
