More strange stuff from Tim Worstall: He doesn't want to do "very much" about alleged global warming, but he does welcome an $80 per ton carbon dioxide tax

I'll Take Steve Zwick's Bet on Climate Change: With a Condition - Forbes

As it happens I don’t “deny” climate change. Nor do I even deny that it’s us human beings causing it. I have my concerns about the accuracy of some of the science, this is true. Specifically, I’m deeply unconvinced that anyone at all really knows what is the summation of all feedbacks.

But I still deny that we need to do very much about it all. So in that sense we can indeed call me a denier. Specifically, I most certainly deny that most of the things that we are told we must do about climate change are either necessary or desirable.

I’d welcome a carbon tax this is true. It should be set at $80 per tonne CO2-e and other taxes should be reduced to make it revenue neutral. After that I want absolutely nothing at all to be done.
