Long past time to start enforcing carbon tariffs on non-compliant countries.
- oliwarner 5y agoI'm not sure how that would work. One country's power to enforce anything like that would —I think— just look like trade tariffs. This can be effective, but they sometimes just make things more expensive (and in doing so, seem like yet another sacrifice). But maybe there are enough countries to form a pact, with enough alternative producers available to make this effective.
- whimsicalism 5y agoMake things more expensive for both sides and meanwhile incentivize producers to switch to more carbon neutral methods. Yes, it requires sacrifice, but it would also require sacrifice if the other unilaterally switched to more carbon neutral production methods without a tariff.
