If oil costs are lower, emissions of carbon dioxide grow. So say two researchers from the Department of Economics at the Universitat Jaume I who have tested the relationship between air pollution and economic development using as an indicator real oil prices in Spain from 1874 to 2011. The two scientists suggest that it is necessary to design new taxes on energy, as recorded by the Information and Scientific News Service (SINC) from the article published by researchers Manuel Cantavella and Jacint Balaguer in the journal "Ecological Indicators".
