Question: has bc carbon tax worked?
Answer: Since BC implemented a carbon tax in 2007 on most fossil fuel emissions, GHGs have trended up and down, settling in 2017 at about 2007 levels. In recent years, BC's GHGs grew almost 5 percent between 2015 and 2017. ... But high levels of economic growth have meant the carbon tax has had to work hard to keep GHGs in check.
