Could this result in moving to countries that don't have such policies, thereby allowing for increasing emissions (ie carbon tax havens)

- perfunctory 7y agoWould have to tax imports from those countries as well
- FrojoS 7y agoExactly. And sure, some people might move away because of this issue. But unless people start starving a majority won’t leave their homes. They will just revoke the legislation.
- psandersen 7y agoPricing in externalities are the only good economic argument for tariffs I'm aware of... Carbon tax + tariffs in proportion to the lack of carbon taxes would be the most logical way of setting up a market-based solution to climate change.
