It seems to me that carbon tax is the way to go, with reductions of equal amount, or more, in other taxes of things which don't involve harm to the commons. But before we go rushing off into mass hysteria to solve the problem, I'd like to know that there actually is a problem. Over 20 years of reading about and keeping an eye on greenhouse effect matters, I'm still about where I was quarter of a century ago = I don't think there is a problem, but if there is one, a carbon tax is probably the easiest way to fix the problem. Not only have I never been convinced there is a problem, I think we are actually solving a problem [which is a nice happenstance for humans, for a change]. The problem we are solving is ice age. I've just read the article you linked to along with that graph. It's saying about what I've been saying. Mqurice
