vehicle use. Effective reduction of fossil fuel consumption thus reduces GHG
emission and the impact of global warming on climate change. The government
has initiated such steps as promotion of afforestation, an environmental awareness
program, conservation of biodiversity, and heavy taxation on petroleum products,
vehicles, and roads. Anton (2020) also suggested taxing crude oil can help to
mitigate climate change effectively because GHG emission increases global risk
by the adverse impact on climate.
