That was a load of bollocks. But at least they got one bit right: <Carbon pricing is the most efficient way to cut pollution.> As I said to my boss in BP Oil back in 1984, if CO2 did become a problem it could be fixed by way of a carbon tax without countervailing cuts and dividends so that an old lady could still drive her car if she wished, even at $20 a litre tax, if the tax came back as dividends. She would of course choose to walk or combined journeys or some other way of solving the problem requiringa trip and pocekt the $20 for more important spending.

But my idea has never been needed. CO2 is a solution, not a problem. The water cycle and ecosphere are much more important in Global Warmig than is CO2 going from 300 ppm to 400 ppm
