A Carbon Tax:

Global Warming's Solution

Presented by Hannah A. Herman

Overview

Global Warming

A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect.

Overview

Carbon Tax

A tax on fossil fuels intended to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.

Future Effects of Global Warming

-Health Risks

-Damaged Economy

-Increase in Natural Disasters

-Endangered Animal

-Severe Weather

-Higher Death Rates

-Etc.

Thesis

Implementing a carbon tax to slow down global warming would be beneficial by reducing greenhouse emissions, improving the economy, and eventually, making technologies affordable.

Thesis

Evidence

"Scientists have long argued that even if emissions stopped completely, it would take decades--perhaps centuries--to substantially lower greenhouse gas concentrations via natural processes. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) contends that carbon dioxide concentrations must stabilize at or below 450 ppm to potentially avoid a dangerous increase in global warming above 2° C (3.6° F)” (Blanchfield).

A carbon tax in Denmark has been in place since 1992. Between 1990 and 2005, the emissions per person decreased to 15% (Nunez).

With the carbon tax, the cost of products and good will rise. This price increase will not be harmful to consumers, but enough to impact the economy beneficially (Tyson).

The New Energy Information Administration projects that by 2040, with a carbon tax, prices for the technology would be remarkably low (Tyson).

Refutation

Some people fear the cost of transportation fuels will be unaffordable.

Refutation

However..

“A tax of $40 per ton of carbon—which adds 36 cents per gallon to the price of gasoline—still leaves more than 90 percent of U.S. consumers inside their comfort zones for fuel prices and travel choices” (Mast).

Relevance

Current, Pressing Issue

-Global warming is already in effect and will continue to harm our environment

Current, Pressing Issue

-People must be aware and active in order to protect the earth

Reasearch Goals

Overall, I hope people recognize the importance of implementing procedures to effectively slow down global warming.
