Answer:
A carbon tax aims to make individuals and firms pay the full social cost of carbon pollution. In theory, the tax will reduce pollution and encourage more environmentally friendly alternatives. However, critics argue a tax on carbon will increase costs for business and reduce levels of investment and economic growth.

The purpose of a carbon tax
The purpose of a carbon tax is to internalise this externality. What this means is that the final price of the good should include the external costs and not just the private cost. It is similar to the ‘polluter pays principle.‘ – which was incorporated into international law at the 1992 Rio Summit. It simply means those who cause environmental costs should be made to pay the full social cost of their actions.

The exception is with low pressure systems.
Answer:
Producers
Explanation:
Organisms who make (or produce) their own food are called producers, <em>plants are capable of self-feed through the process of photosynthesis, therefore, they are producers.</em> These producers are the first energy source for primary consumers and the star of the living food chain. Consumers are animals that consume other organisms, they are divided into three categories: primary (herbivores), secondary (carnivores and omnivores), tertiary consumers (they consume energy from all other levels). The final link in this food chain is the decomposers, also known as detritivores, they eat decaying or dead matter including dead plants or animals, returning vital nutrients to the soil.
Biomagnifiers are organisms that tolerate increasing concentration of a substance at successively higher levels in a food chain. A bioaccummulator is an organism that suffers a net accumulation of a contaminant from all sources including water, air, and diet. Biomagnifiers and bioaccumulator can be from plants to animals all across the food chain.
