Talk:Implicit carbon prices

Too technical and hard to understand

[edit]

For example the first paragraph mentions fuel taxes against local pollution but surely if you are against local pollution you are going to impose Low-emission zones in urban areas rather than a fuel tax which also covers rural areas.

Also later about fossil fuel subsidies it says ‘The removal of these subsidies through reform are a positive implicit carbon price.’ but that does not make sense to me as surely removal of the subsidies results in a higher carbon price but it could still be zero not positive.

I don't understand why the short description is 'Indirect costs of climate change measures'.

And what are 'tradable performance standards'? Chidgk1 (talk) 18:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
