A broad, briskly rising tax on climate pollution would claw back the implicit subsidy that fossil fuels now enjoy, seeing as their pollutants are dumped freely. It would simultaneously provide across-the-board incentives for climate-friendly energy, spurring the lowest-carbon alternatives: energy conservation and efficiency. Targeted subsidies don’t always reach underdog alternatives, known and unknown. A carbon tax would.”original ↗

Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University, noted that solving climate change means undertaking a large number of seemingly small measures, like curbing emissions from automobiles, oil and gas wells, air travel, landfills, buildings and more. ‘Just because there are multiple contributors to a problem doesn’t mean we should excuse all but the top one,’ Dr. Oppenheimer said. ‘Just because a polluter’s emissions are decreasing doesn’t mean thatoriginal ↗
