The fact that we identified the hole in the ozone layer and then passed effective regulations to curtail cfcs is how we dodged that bullet.
It's difficult to imagine a worse example as a defense of climate science denial. In any case, I don't know that carbon taxes are -the- way to go, and they certainly aren't the only way to go...but it's worth mentioning that we already pay them. Remediation isn't free or cheap, nor is environmentally spurred migration, nor the loss of biodiveristy and habitat. I've long wondered why a specific political subset doesn't immediately recognize the ideological amenability of making polluters and exploiters pay their own bills, rather than squeezing John Q Taxpayer like a lemon.
It's almost as if there's no consistent guiding principle on the matter...or something.
