And all this releases tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which is a problem because CO2 is a “greenhouse gas.” Greenhouse gases are molecules that trap heat in the atmosphere, which leads to an overall warming effect on the planet. CO2 isn’t the ONLY greenhouse gas, there’s methane, nitrous oxide, and some others in the mix. AND burning fossil fuels isn’t the only way greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere. But CO2 currently accounts for the greatest warming. And since the late 1800s when global average temperatures have increased by about 1 degree Celsius. Overall, this warming has a huge impact on the climate causing things like more severe droughts, water scarcity, wildfires, floods, melting of polar ice, and sea level rise. If we want to keep climate change from getting worse, we need to reduce our CO2 emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much carbon dioxide do private jets emit?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A private jet can emit two metric tons of CO2 in just one hour. For comparison, the average car emits about 4.6 metric tons in an ENTIRE year! And private jet use is gaining in popularity. In 2021, there were over 3.3 million private flights. One report estimates that in 2016, private jets emitted about 33.7 million tons of CO2. For comparison, Denmark, a country with 5.5 million people emitted 27 million tons of CO2 in 2020. And private jets are five to 14 times MORE POLLUTING than commercial airlines on a per-passenger basis. When it comes to private jets there’s a disproportionate amount of CO2 coming from a very small group of people who can afford this luxury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to do about private jet pollution?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people are calling for a straight-up ban on private jets, which is getting some traction in places in Europe. Since trains have a much lower carbon footprint, France has already banned commercial short-distance flights when there are train routes available.

What they are really doing, though, is slowing down the flow of water. This not only helps them survive, but it also benefits humans.

But these woodland superheroes were hunted almost to extinction in the last century and are still sometimes viewed as pests.

A beaver’s main goal in their habitat is to make a pond for themselves to live in. They do so by building a dam and digging a bunch of little canals out from their ponds. What they are really doing, though, is slowing down the flow of water. This not only helps them survive, but it also benefits humans. The slowed-down water has time to sink into the soil and spread out into the floodplain.

When we use energy from fossil fuels– like coal, oil and natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and methane into the air. These gases are “greenhouse gases” that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. They are also known as carbon emissions because they contain the element carbon. With a carbon tax, people and business would have to pay a fee for their carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would a carbon tax fight climate change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea with a carbon tax is to make energy from fossil fuels super expensive, so people won’t use it as much. Examples of this would be really high taxes on gasoline, jet fuel, your monthly electricity bill. If fossil fuel use become expensive, businesses would be more likely to invest in cleaner energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the pros of carbon taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one if the easiest ways to decrease carbon in the atmosphere. In some places where a carbon tax has been implemented– like Sweden and British Columbia, it’s led to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the arguments against carbon taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main arguments against carbon tax is that it will unfairly hurt the poor. It’s a tax on things that are pretty essential for daily life, like heat for your home, or transportation. So, if you tax these things, it could really be bad for those that are already struggling with their bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is a carbon tax different from cap and trade?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the carbon tax, cap-and-trade policies aim to reduce greenhouse gas pollution by making it more expensive. But instead of a tax, cap-and-trade rules put a limit on how much carbon big industries like oil refineries, power plants and factories can release into the air. The government makes businesses buy permits, called allowances, for each ton of carbon they emit. And, there’s a financial incentive to be clean: if a business has any allowances leftover, it can sell them to another business that may be going over its limit, and make some extra money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SOURCES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-report-2040.html\">The New York Times: Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040, October 2018\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/carbon-tax.htm\">How Stuff Works: How Carbon Tax Works, August, 2007\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2016/05/16/when-it-comes-to-emissions-sweden-has-its-cake-and-eats-it-too\">The World Bank: When It Comes to Emissions, Sweden Has Its Cake and Eats It Too, May 2016\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/business/does-a-carbon-tax-work-ask-british-columbia.html\">The New York Times: Does a Carbon Tax Work?

The problem is, it’s not always a popular solution as opponents argue it would unfairly hurt the poor- as we’ve seen play out in France lately with the Yellow Vest protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>FOR EDUCATORS\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWant to your students to discuss this Above the Noise episode with peers from around the country?

When we use energy from fossil fuels– like coal, oil and natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and methane into the air. These gases are “greenhouse gases” that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. They are also known as carbon emissions because they contain the element carbon. With a carbon tax, people and business would have to pay a fee for their carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would a carbon tax fight climate change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea with a carbon tax is to make energy from fossil fuels super expensive, so people won’t use it as much. Examples of this would be really high taxes on gasoline, jet fuel, your monthly electricity bill. If fossil fuel use become expensive, businesses would be more likely to invest in cleaner energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the pros of carbon taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one if the easiest ways to decrease carbon in the atmosphere. In some places where a carbon tax has been implemented– like Sweden and British Columbia, it’s led to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the arguments against carbon taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main arguments against carbon tax is that it will unfairly hurt the poor. It’s a tax on things that are pretty essential for daily life, like heat for your home, or transportation. So, if you tax these things, it could really be bad for those that are already struggling with their bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is a carbon tax different from cap and trade?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the carbon tax, cap-and-trade policies aim to reduce greenhouse gas pollution by making it more expensive. But instead of a tax, cap-and-trade rules put a limit on how much carbon big industries like oil refineries, power plants and factories can release into the air. The government makes businesses buy permits, called allowances, for each ton of carbon they emit. And, there’s a financial incentive to be clean: if a business has any allowances leftover, it can sell them to another business that may be going over its limit, and make some extra money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SOURCES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-report-2040.html\">The New York Times: Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040, October 2018\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/carbon-tax.htm\">How Stuff Works: How Carbon Tax Works, August, 2007\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2016/05/16/when-it-comes-to-emissions-sweden-has-its-cake-and-eats-it-too\">The World Bank: When It Comes to Emissions, Sweden Has Its Cake and Eats It Too, May 2016\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/business/does-a-carbon-tax-work-ask-british-columbia.html\">The New York Times: Does a Carbon Tax Work?
