What is Carbon Tax?????

-I need help on bad things about it and good things about it!!!A carbon tax is an environmental tax that is levied on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon atoms are present in every fossil fuel (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) and are released as carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. In contrast, non-combustion energy sources鈥攚ind, sunlight, hydropower, and nuclear鈥攄o not convert hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide. A carbon tax can be implemented by taxing the burning of fossil fuels鈥攃oal, petroleum products such as gasoline and aviation fuel, and natural gas鈥攊n proportion to their carbon content.
