Maurice, I always appreciate your interesting concepts. No exception here. While you may have some argument on CO2 emissions, they are easier to measure and control than particulates, mercury, other heavy metal and related emissions. Since other dangerous emissions often occur with CO2, a tax based on CO2 also can reduce dangerous, often cancer producing emissions. I suppose I shouldn't be upset over a bit of global warming, since it reduces my fuel costs in this upstate New York area, whose winter temperatures match those in Moscow and Helsinki, though for a shorter period. But as a person with asthma, related in part to air quality, I think it is a good idea to have policies that encourage the reduction of whatever emissions lead to an increase in breathing problems. I do not think it is a good idea to let other countries do what they please, on the grounds that I or others with similar problems have no jurisdiction. We're all more and more interdependent, no matter where we live or what work we do. Art
