British Columbia Rethinks Its Pioneering Carbon Tax
Stacey Schultz For National Geographic News
Published May 3, 2012
British Columbians are feeling a little lonely in their bid to save the planet.Five
years ago, the Canadian province enacted a bold set of climate change
policies designed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
dramatically. At the time, B.C. lawmakers assumed the United States
would follow suit with federal climate change policy. To the south and

establishing the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), with a regional
carbon cap-and-trade system.
