Could the solution be graduated luxury carbon taxes on unnecessary consumption, like private jets, regular flights, non critical home AC, Christmas lights, PC gaming, etc?
- mavhc 5y agoJust tax everything the amount it costs to clean up the pollution it causes, and then use that money to clean up the pollution. Subsidize the poor as we've always done.
- imtringued 5y agoMaybe change the way we subsidize them. The negative income tax can be used for basically any form of pigovian tax revenue.
- geysersam 5y agoYes, please. Low tax on essentials. High tax on the overconsumption of carbon intensive economic activity in the rich world. Market value says very little about true value of goods and services globally. Why should we let it decide how to prioritize the little carbon emission we can afford?
