Economists Have A One-Page Solution To Climate Change : Planet Money : NPR
Climate change seems like this complicated problem with a million pieces. But Henry Jacoby, an economist at MIT's business school, says there's really just one thing you need to do to solve the problem: Tax carbon emissions.

"If you let the economists write the legislation," Jacoby says, "it could be quite simple." He says he could fit the whole bill on one page.

-NPR says Tax carbon emissions.-
That means taxing the end user of the fuel, not the oil, gas or coal company for the fuel they supply to the market. The exemptions and carve-outs for special interests, the poor, etc will fill more than 1,000 pages alone.

BIG OIL must have paid off NPR by funding their trendy new offices!
