Any suggestions on how we can actually make corporations pay for the carbon they emit if a carbon tax isn't it?
Doing nothing is what we have been doing and it isn't working.
How would you implement that? Like, how do you propose to impose a tax on the company that they can't just pass along to the customer?
How would that law work? Unless you're setting the price as a matter of law, how could you ever prove that a price rise was because of the tax and not "other economic factors"?
