If Europe or the US introduced carbon tax they would be entitled to ask for a carbon audit on imports from any nation that did not tax carbon and charge a levy. This would mean the importing nation would be collecting the income and would encourage exporting nations to introduce their own carbon tax.Type your comment here.
