Can carbon tax can help in the plans to combat global warming?

yes it helps as by human nature we fear Penal actions and when there is a tax on excess carbon foot print you try to minimise and look for alternates. india should stride this path.

Yes of coursee carbon tax is essential for all industries which emits CO2 gas as well as other toxic corbn gases.To reduce global wrming and pollutionit is neccessary . 

Obviously there are parameters to reduce carbon emission as plantation of trees ,us of gas or biofuels in vehicles and other many more aspects.This will not only save carbon tax but will also provide carbon credit tooo!!!!

Sorry brother....i dont agree with u...In early days we were not knowing about the hazzards of global warming....its was even not known at that time.....but know we have done enough experiments and know which are the causes for global warming....So now after knowing this it becomes our moral duty to fight against.... n y r u just concentrating on  Carbon tax.....there is also a concept of Carbon Trading...

To save Carbon tax....manufacturers will develop more efficient technology and vehicles...thus reducing carbon emissions...so can apply for carbon credits and can genrate revenue against Carbon tax.....what say buddy....???

The rationale for a carbon tax is simple: the levels of CO2 already in the Earth’s atmosphere and being added daily are destabilizing established climate patterns and threatening the ecosystems on which we and other living beings depend.A carbon tax must be the central mechanism for reducing carbon emissions.

We know that only carbon tax won’t stop global climate change by itself — other, synergistic actions are required as well. But without a carbon tax, even the most aggressive regulatory regime and “enlightened” subsidies will fall woefully short of the necessary reductions in carbon burning and emissions. What do you guys?
