But its CO2 thats the issue right now. Not other forms of pollution which we already have regulations to address. if increased CO2 causes ice to melt which causes ocean levels to rise, which causes people to have to move from coastal areas, then that is a cost we need to take into account in pricing or taxation policies related to those industries that create the most CO2 emissions. Of course, first they'd need to prove the causal chain. And we should demand they prove the causal chain before imposing massive taxes on carbon dioxide.
