United States :
The San Francisco Bay Area Air Quality Management District has imposed a pollution fee of 4.4 cents per ton of carbon dioxide factories, power plants, oil refineries and other businesses emit. Will this help solve global warming? Heavy taxes on emitters will make it complicated for businesses to operate, but it certainly serves as a model and a temporary deterrent the world can follow.

We all know that green taxes can't solve the climate change problem. But get it right, the aim of extra fees is to force polluters change their behavior, save fuel as much as they can and shift to green technology ASAP. Yes, it'll help to some extent; the reluctance of heavy emitters demand strict and immediate action.

To a great extent, yes! However, the government has to ensure that there is no leeway for offenders. And, the fine should be intimidating enough for people to consider greener alternatives. Global warming has reached a stage where it cannot be stopped, but these initiatives will at least contribute to preserving whatever is left of our planet.

Yes,the tax will to an extent provide some respite from global warming.But this should be uniformly followed throughout the world.Such industries with their limited vision have done enough harm to the environment and now its time to be tough on them.
