Speaker A: The proposed legislation to tax carbon emissions will undoubtedly hurt the economy. Businesses will pass these costs to consumers, leading to inflation and decreased spending. Speaker B: But we must consider the long-term economic costs of inaction on climate change, such as infrastructure damage from extreme weather. Investing in green energy now will create millions of new jobs that offset any initial losses.
Speaker A and Speaker B are most likely to disagree about which one of the following?
- Whether building out green energy is the single most effective tool available for cutting carbon emissions.
- Whether a carbon tax would have any effect at all on the prices businesses charge consumers.
- Whether climate change poses a serious danger to the nation's infrastructure.
- Whether, taken on the whole, the carbon tax would leave the economy better or worse off.
- Whether protecting the economy should always take priority over protecting the environment.
