Has Carbon tax worked in other countries? And are the people in those countries happy about it?

If they’re raising the taxes to get people to stop using it, why don’t they just take it away? I know that is a loaded question but same thing with cigarettes... if they’re ruining our planet, why are they still selling them? Marley

It’s so expensive for those cars tho

Good point Jordan. If we change our behavior the tax may become obsolete. Then again, if the tax doesn't go far enough, could we revert to our earlier behavior?

I just looked up which is more dangerous to the environment and it said methane is 30 times more potent than carbon. It said that methane holds more heat then carbon does which leads to faster global warming.

If the money is going to climate change adaption projects and the taxes are helping to slow down carbon dioxide I feel like it would be a good idea. It would cost us a lot but once it’s slows down maybe the taxes could be lower?

# data[].attributes.body
What makes methane more dangerous than CO2? This may also have to do with the amount of CO2 versus Methane.

There are some arguments that 1631 is not an fair tax, that there are too many exceptions to the carbon tax.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting that you guys seem to be for this carbon tax without knowing how much it would cost you. You may want to find out more before you decide.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a carbon tax would be a good idea. Some people would not want to spend the extra money so it could lead to less CO2  usage.

Colton, The money from the carbon tax is intended to go climate change adaptation projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Will this policy is a good idea althoughas  everyone make and earn a unique amount of money this policy may affect each person differently

# data[].attributes.body
What’s another disadvantage other than paying more money and loss in business for the 1631 act?

Colton

A carbon tax would not be a good idea because people would not want to pay more money for cars, gas, and other products. We need these products to live, and making them harder to buy for some people won’t be good.

Where would the money go from the taxes?

# data[].attributes.body
Aren’t there worse gasses out there that pollute the air way more than carbon? For example, shouldn’t farms who are owned by big companies be charged for their methane emissions? Methane is more dangerous than carbon.

I know they said a ton of carbon would cost $50 and maybe I’m wrong but that doesn’t seem like that much money for a ton of carbon. Did they say that’s how much the taxes would be? Because if so that doesn’t seem that expensive.

# data[].attributes.body
Where would the money that we pay go and how would it be used?

# data[].attributes.body
Oops that was Jake Lowe

# data[].attributes.body
I’m confused. People have to pay whenever they emit C02?

# data[].attributes.body

I think there should be carbon tax because it would encourage people to look for alternatives like solar power which will help stop global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
Hannah, Nordhaus has figured out a way to calculate the damage caused by CO2 and the resulting cost. That cost would be made up for by the tax.

# data[].attributes.body
William sounds like a smart guy

# data[].attributes.body
What measures do we have in place for if we fail and we hit 2 degrees? I think that the carbon tax is a good idea if we’re trying to dissuade people from emitting more carbon.

Toby, Nordhaus will address that a little later in the podcast. The U.S. doesn't have any specific measures if we fail to stop climate change at 2 degrees.

Marley, We'll see how you feel about 1631 then. There's a lot to consider beyond just saving the planet.

Grace, Initially I think two countries didn't sign: Syria(who was in the middle of a civil war) and a Central American country who felt Paris didn't go far enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Please include your name so I know who's questions I'm working on.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because we really need to hault change in climate, because if we don’t things could change very slightly, but that small change could be detrimental. If all these bad things happen, like coral reefs dying and seas rising and what not, could we still live comfortably?

# data[].attributes.body
Was there any countries that didn't agree to the Paris agreement?

What percentage of the world isn’t being affected by climate change. Dylan B.

# data[].attributes.body
i think there should be a carbon tax because global warming is ruining our planet. A few dollars extra on gas will make people not want to buy gas so they’ll get an electric cars. Electric cars don’t release co2 so that’s better for our environment. Will prices on electric cars decrease or will common brands like ford or Honda start making electric cars? I am Marley :)
