 What proportion of 2015 greenhouse gas emissions reduce maximizes the difference between total benefits and total cost of emissions reduced?
Air pollution in the country of Gawanza has grown over the last ten years with an increase in manufacturing industries. The government of Gawanza now has a plan to reduce the CO2 emissions into the air by 10% per year over the next 10 years. What do you expect will happen?
The marginal cost and marginal benefits to Gawanza of reducing CO2 will be lowest in the last few years of implementing this plan.
The marginal cost and marginal benefits to Gawanza of reducing CO2 will be lowest in the last few years of implementing this plan.
The marginal cost of reducing CO2 will be the highest and marginal benefits of reducing CO2 will be the lowest in year ten.

"Examine the economic impacts of
implementing a carbon tax as a policy
measure to combat climate change. Discuss
how a carbon tax might influence consumer
behavior, energy production, and
technological innovation. Additionally,
evaluate the potential effects on global trade
patterns and the distribution of income.
