John Tierney relays today what seems like a very sensible idea from economist Ross McKitrick, tie a carbon tax to the temperature. If the temperature rises the tax goes up, if the temperature does not rise (as McKitrick, a climate change skeptic thinks) the tax will stay at a low level. Temperature of the troposphere would be measured by satellite at the equator and averaged over a period of time…In theory, both climate change proponents and skeptics ought to agree to this proposal, but I predict the proponents will object.
From Tie CO2 Tax to Temperature
Brilliant.
