to give Bush cronies or whoever more of our money that went nowhere.

Report released Typically private enterprise expect governments to pick up the tab. If oil companies emit carbon gas when attempting to get it to market, it makes sense that legislation should be passed for the people bringing the product to market to make their budgets absorb the expense. Companies don't give a rat's ass about the environment...countries have to take that into account and pass legislation that forces them to clean up their own mess. I believe Australia is a leader in that technology.

Along those same lines, central banks should not continue to prop investors up whose lending practices are too loose. Legislation needs to be passed that makes lenders responsible instead of central banks funding them to the tune of billions of dollars.

My answer, "Yes, countries do need to pursue keeping carbon in the ground or putting it back there if it's released into the air." Tax companies and vehicles for the amount they release if they don't willingly bring the amount under control! Coal-burning plants are atrociously high in the amount of carbon they release.

That is the simple challenge that await's those who pursue that objective.
But if the chemical bond between carbon and oxygen atoms could be broken that couls be an interresting way to approach the problem.

not about saving the enviornment it's about the first global tax.
Do you know an Amish family?

The first global tax was the move to convertible silver currencies in the 18th century. It was an inflation tax mind you, but global and a tax none the less.

The classical gold standard also relied on a global tax, though a devaluation based one.
