Stop trying to pick a fight. I gave reasonably specific information of what I mean by carbon tax in my previous post: > To be specific, taxing [use of and/or e

  And I asked what about other emission sources, you're now evading the question. Concrete as an example for something that's not a "fuel" and yet its production is responsible for a significant portion of C02 emissions. Why would you just ignore this, the carbon debate in the general public is clearly not based on rationality and understanding, such a "carbon tax" would be a complete misnomer. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46455844 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46455844

    Your original reply to my post asked for specifics of what a carbon tax is. I replied: a tax on either the sourcing or consumption of fossil fuels. I can see now that you were actually looking for me to justify a carbon tax from a policy perspective, not define it. I am not interesting in doing so, hence “evading the question”

      Why do you call it a "carbon tax" when what you actually mean is a fossil fuel tax which specifically excludes other emission sources? You've not explained that part at all. It's like saying "I want a wealth tax" and then when someone asks how it actually works you tell them you tax expensive cars. That's not a wealth tax but a luxury vehicle tax.

    * CO2, not C02. (Oh, not zero.)
