Argument Claim: No, Australia should not reintroduce the carbon tax., The…

- - - - Data from Simulation
        
        Simulation shows that 12% emissions would be cut if a $23 per tone of CO2 carbon tax is imposed in the short run, and in the worse situation, 2.79% emission would be reduced
        
        Limitation: The result doesn't match the data from research.
      - Data from research
        
        A 23$ per ton of CO2 carbo tax was imposed from 2012 to 2014.Within the two year period, the demand of electricity went down by 3.8%, the average emissions intensity went down by 4.6%, and the overall emissions went down by 8.2%
        
        Limitations: though carbon emissions decreased after the carbon tax was imposed, no enough to cause any change in the environment. enacted time is too short.
  - - - Data from simulation
        
        30% and 33.4% carbon emission would reduced respectively at the carbon tax of US$50 and US$100 per ton of carbon in Guangdong province
        
        Limitation: the effect of the same carbon tax rate may vary across regions, so the carbon tax might not have the same effectiveness in Australia as it have in China
      - Data from research
        
        More than half of the factories will be affected by the carbon tax policy.
        
        Implication: Factories will decrease their carbon emissions because of the carbon tax. thus the total carbon emissions will decrease.
  - - - Data from research
        
        1.Consumers react to carbon tax by reducing the purchase of GHG emissions-related product. 2. 12.9% carbon emissions had reduced from 2008-2013.
        
        Implication: British Columbia have imposed carbon tax for a long time period, so its experience is worthy to consider.
- - - - Pros
        
        Less carbon emission
        
        Reduce future risk
        
        Reduce future cost of adaptation
      - Cons
        
        Short term economic cost
        
        Political instability
        
        Public objection
        
        Little effect on current natural disastrers
  - - - Learn from past failure
      - Better education?
      - Negotiate between political parties
      - More gradual economic transition
