Paris Part Deux
from Cooler Earth
Protest is nothing new to France, but over the past month, Paris and some other cities in the country have seen escalating protests, sparked by an eco-tax on fuel due to come into effect in January. Anti-carbon pricing pundits have been quick to point to Paris as a reason why carbon taxes do not work. We think differently, so this week we once again sat down with our Executive Director Michael Green to chat about the significance of the protests in France for climate policy. Hosted on Acast.
