Who is ''they''?
A carbon tax is probably the most effective way of reducing CO2 output.
Carbon markets are just a greenwash. Rich countries buying the allowance of poor countries so that emissions stay the same.

LMAO

Social engineering through financial punishment? While China and India contribute more than the 1st World put together? Why do you hate poor people?

It's not poor people racking up air miles and consuming for the sake of it. It's the rich and big industries that have the largest footprints.
The average African or Chinese peasant isn't replacing their mobile phone every time Apple brings out a slight improvement to camera quality or wearing clothes a couple of times before rushing out to buy the latest fashion. The old lady in the streets of Mumbai doesn't have 40 pairs of shoes or a gas-guzzling SUV to nip down to the shops in. She doesn't live in a house far bigger than she needs with airconditioning in every room.
The polluter pays, simple as that.
You think people aren't socially engineered to spend spend spend for the sake of some totally unsustainable goal of eternal growth?
Conned into believing that they are helping the planet by recycling their plastic bottles or cardboard packaging when what they should really be doing is cutting down on their consumerism and buying locally. Not purchasing cheap Chinese products that drive their emissions up so that you can scapegoat them to excuse yourselves.

Sure they will.
No one and I mean no one is going to sacrifice a thing, and you know it.

CO2 is not a pollutant. That's the problem. What if we put all this effort into dealing with real environmental problems instead?
Bot then we won't be able to put punitive taxes on people for breathing, that's why.
It's a power and money grab, plain and simple. It has nothing whatsoever to do with environment

[Montegriffo]

...or we do both.

Coal is a pollutant as is oil.
Greenhouse deniers always quote the cost of reducing carbon output and then complain about it being all about money not the science of global warming.
They also take no account of the economic costs of climate change.

Any climate allarmist who refuses to consider nuclear is an obvious useful idiot for the deranged human hating left.

No one in particular. It's just a litmus test.

The entire American left. You may not know it because most of Europe is comfortable with it but the left here associate Nuclear with either weapons or Chernobyl.

As is people who want to make it all about money or portray environmental concerns as Marxist.
