A carbon tax that covers 100% of the external environmental cost on all goods would mean a substantial change in the way people live. Tautologically, such a change is needed to stop climate change. A change like this would mean gas, international travel, heating oil, meat and some other foods, plastics would be much more expensive. A change like this would be nearly impossible to pass. The good news is a much smaller carbon tax is enough to change some behavior and get much of the benefit. You can start small and go from there.
