There are far better ways to handle Externalities than a carbon tax. Which BTW under most proposed versions of the Carbon tax is nothing more than a political tool, not a tool to properly account for externalities Governments do not have a track record for being trust worthily enough to be placed in charge of controlling Externalities, it would inevitably be used to usurp power, and liberty from the people, while unjustly enriching their political allies. This happens every day, in every government. As the saying goes "Government: if you think you have problems wait until you see our solutions."
