Every time politicians claim they can solve all of the world’s problems through taxing and spending, I’m reminded of what Douglas Adams wrote so many years ago:
“This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
Here’s a novel idea. How about using effective, fact based education to raise awareness of the serious negative impacts (especially those of doing nothing) until people actually see it for themselves?

Everyone but the politicians and those with enough money to pay said politicians, will be forced to comply with the carbon regulations.
