I assume you're being sarcastic based on your (inane) sig, but you got it basically right anyways. A carbon tax would not ruin our standard of living; and it could do great things to offset global warming. I think it is the most economically sensible solution. And like you said, the money should go to reducing the effects of what we do produce.

Do any of our candidates understand this? None of our candidates understand economics, let alone hard science. But at least the Democrats admit that it's a problem.
What about rasing the standards allowed for carbon emmisions? With a fine for violators and a possible "shut down notice" for those who refuse to co-operate? Would that work as well?
