The Carbon Tax idea might look good on paper, and might work in countries small enough to walk across for groceries. But the US still has their 3000 mile Ceasar Salads. Cities made the mistake of adapting to "somewhere else" supplying their needs, then pulled up the rails. Truckers are dropping like flies - too many chasing too few loads has dropped profits to near zero, while fuel soared. The calamity of no food or toilet paper deliveries to big cities is likely even before someone proposes to kill the truckers off totally with carbon taxes.

If we have reached "peak everything" due to the collapse of debt which kept previous prosperity on life-support, the carbon "problem" (the science against is a highly spiked story)... will be self-limiting. The scrubbers (trees) will grow back where the factories used to be. I believe we are headed toward a much lower standard of living, and basic survival will displace environmental concerns.
