Taxes

What is the role of carbon taxes in reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

• They increase the cost of fossil fuels, encouraging the use of renewable energy.

• They provide subsidies for fossil fuel companies.

• They have no impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

• They are used to fund space exploration.
