Carbon emissions from fossil fuels are by far the biggest pollutant that's responsible for climate change.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is good at absorbing and radiating the heat that gets reflected from the Earth 's surface.
But we're blowing more of the stuff into the air almost every year .
A carbon tax ideally would make things that pollute a lot more expensive so that people will buy or use less of it.
A metric tonne of CO2 is what a one way flight from New York to Paris emits per passenger.
Uruguay had the highest carbon tax rate in 2023 , followed by many European countries.
But the tax rate rapidly falls to less than $20 from many nations.
Politicians are afraid to make carbon emissions more expensive because they will be punished at the polls.
