Advocates of using a carbon tax to reduce GHG emissions sometimes refer to a double dividend from placing a price on carbon. The first dividend comes from appropriately pricing externalities through a carbon tax. The second dividend comes from using the revenues raised by that carbon tax to reduce other, more economically distorting taxes.
