Abstract
The global warming caused by the greenhouse gas emission has laid a significant impact on economic and social development of mankind. To meet this challenge, Denmark first started to collect the carbon emission tax in 1990. Since then, many countries have collected the carbon emission tax on fossil fuel products (such as fuel coal, gasoline and natural gas, etc.) according to their carbon content in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and protect the environment. At the beginning of the year of 2012, the incident of the European Union’s carbon emission tax on airlines produced strong reactions in the world. Quietly, the topic on when China starts to collect the carbon emission tax is more heatedly discussed.
