Carbon Tax Revenue: $170/tonne Escalation

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Federal carbon levy reaches $170/tonne as scheduled, increasing carbon tax revenue by $4.5B. Chain: carbon_tax_revenue -> carbon_emissions(-0.35, delay 4). The delayed effect is key: pricing signals take years to change industrial behaviour. Revenue recycled through Climate Action Incentive.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 21). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
