Carbon Taxes

The most highly radioactive form of carbon known to politicians. Like Kryptonite to Superman, carbon taxes are believed to rob politicians of their powers through unavoidable election loss. No one knows for sure, because no politician has had the courage to really try to enact one.

A carbon tax would be the simplest and most efficient way to solve climate on an economy-wide basis, and the most rational thing to do. It would be beneficial to every living thing except politicians.

Last we checked, they're not on the endangered species list.
