Of course, that's largely horseshit and major energy companies dump prodigious amounts of shit into the environment and then hire "scientists" to say that man has no effect on the environment.
History tells us it is completely horse shit. That's why an involuntary tax makes since. Don't give them a choice. Make them pay for the damage they are doing, and give them an incentive to reduce the amount of CO2 they produce.

According to the libertarian paper the same way the rest of us do. Taxes. If they won't play by the rules voluntarily then the rest of us should hit their products with tariffs.
