You say you don't want to buy credits to offset your footie prints. Carbon credits are a tax you buy forwhat you use. No more, no less. Or you can be a credit producer by sequestring carbon and selling to chumps like you.
Well, by that standard they should implement the Starfleet Construction Tax and the Extraterrestrial Alien Immigrant Tax right now.
Slippery slope.
Within the context of this discussion, alleviating a problem that could happen within our lifetimes is not so unreasonable.
Thank you for proving that you are simply fear mongering and there is no danger.
Thank you for proving that you are not consistent.

Dunno.
I would say we are likely to see more droughts, hurricanes or other extreme weather events as the century pushes on. The severity and quantity of such events is yet to be seen, but it would also be expensive to fix.
Socialists have never seen a tax they didn't like.
Carbon taxes discriminate against rural residents because we have zero access to public transit and NG for heat. Fortunately we do have firewood which is natural, sustainable and free. Not to mention the health benefits to burning wood.
