Consumers would respond to the tax-induced increase in the cost of the emissions-intensive products by reducing their consumption of those goods and services in favor of goods and services that create smaller amounts of CO2 emissions.
En retour, les consommateurs répondraient à ces hausses de prix en diminuant leur consommation de biens et de services surtaxés en faveur de biens et de services générant moins de rejets de CO2.
