Putting a price on carbon

UBC political science professor Kathryn Harrison was interviewed in a Global News segment about setting a national price on carbon.

Harrison spoke about B.C.’s carbon tax, started eight years ago, which added about seven cents a litre at the gas pump. “Over time, people realized that the sky didn’t fall, the economy continued to thrive, and it’s just one of many gradual measures to encourage us to change our behaviour, and we know now that it’s working,” said Harrison.
