Sorry, no. Much the costs of burning fossil fuels are externalized and with climate change this is taken to the extreme.
This is what cap-and-trade was supposed to be about, but it seems that for the modern right "market solution" is whatever preserves the status quo.
- protomyth 12y agocap-and-trade will not fix the problem with up and coming economies. cap-and-trade is not a market solution, it just taxes the market. you either figure out a equivalent or better cost way - or we have to deal with war or climate engineering. I would prefer we get something that works before we get into "the kill my neighbor to preserve what I have" mentality. (given the voting, nope not going to respond further on this issue - no point in "debate" if silencing is the response)
