After the Industrial Revolution in the 19th, with the rapid growth of economy and Social development, People have consumed a lot of energy and resources and triggered a global climate change, which is threatening to human survival and development. Climate change is not only scientific issues, but also more involved in the political, economic, diplomatic and technological and other fields. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating climate change, a lot of useful exploration and practice have been made by many countries. Among them, carbon tax shows more obvious effects and therefore favored by the national world. Carbon tax can not only deepen the taxpayers and the public on climate change and the understanding and awareness of energy saving, but also change their irrational energy consumption, to achieve the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.At present, China is a country with huge carbon dioxide emissions. So the reduction of Carbon dioxide emission has brought a lot of uncertainty to the country's international relations, international trade, and so on. Now China is facing increasing pressure to cut emissions. Through the introduction of carbon taxes, we may control carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change. Carbon tax system should be designed not only to consider the rationality of theory in practice but also to consider the feasibility. We should learn from international experience and from China's national conditions. At the same time, the carbon tax system and other supporting policies need coordination and cooperation to jointly play a role to get more effective control to achieve emission reduction targets. Therefore, research from a legal point on the carbon tax system has important theoretical and practical significance.In this paper, we choose carbon tax--the main measures to control climate change as a starting point, analysis the necessity and feasibility of the theoretical basis of carbon taxes and the introduction of a carbon tax, proposed the main measure of introduction of carbon taxes to control carbon dioxide emissions. And analysis of the carbon tax system of principles and specific elements of the building. This paper includes four parts. The first part focuses on the main measures to control climate change based on the introduction of the context of climate change. The second part analyzes the theoretical basis of the introduction of carbon taxes. The third part introduces carbon tax practice and its foreign Enlightenment. The fourth part introduces a detailed analysis of the necessity and feasibility of carbon taxes, and proposed legal system of a carbon tax principles and specific ideas.
