It's time for a UK carbon tax

Ember argues that the UK should implement a carbon tax on January 1st, as a link between the EU carbon market and the UK is no longer possible following the Brexit transition period.

• Ember asserts that implementing a carbon tax on January 1st is the best scenario for the climate because a post-Brexit link between the EU carbon market and the UK is impossible and a UK-only Emissions Trading System would be complex and risky.
• The UK government previously conducted a consultation on a Carbon Emissions Tax that closed two months prior to the statement; the government indicated it intended to start the following year with either a carbon tax or a UK-only carbon market.
