Background:

Some countries have taxes on carbon emissions. This chart just shows the average price paid per ton of carbon, for countries with the tax.

Why are the biggest emitters (US and China) omitted?

And what is "price"? Cost of health care as a result of emissions? Spot price of fossil fuels used to produce those emissions? Price of implementing energy alternatives to produce the same power as produced by emission-producing powerplants? Price of carbon credits in each country? Total cost of paying for carbon credits?

What are your sources for data? Please be specific, otherwise the graph is meaningless.

A carbon price means an additional price (a tax or a fee or an allowance that has to be bought) for emitting carbon by burning fossil fuels.

As far as I know, both the US and China don't have a national carbon price.

The US has it in some states like California, China has some test projects but I think they are not yet rolled out on a larger scale.

If our species survives another 500 years -- very big if -- this will be seen as the Age of Stupidity.

That's true. The point remains that one cannot tell what "price" means in the context of that chart. Maybe it's carbon credits, given that US and China are omitted. Only the OP really knows.

Oh I didn't know there were plans in US and some test projects in China

Needs to be at least 300$ globally

By what metrics?

That’s what the externalised future costs caused by these emissions are.

Any articles or research on the topic? I cant find any?

3 Nordic countries in top 5. They also have Free education Free healthcare Low inequality They are all among the happiest countries in the world.

Yes thank you, I have edited it now

it’s even above 600$ if you weight todays and future welfare equally
