Here’s more solution: Carbon tax.

When a business uses someone else’s property for its own purposes, it ought to pay the owner. Especially when permission was not secured ahead of time.

Which is why industries ought to pay for disposing of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and why the revenues ought to come back to you and me.

The sky is mine. And it’s yours too. Those who use the sky to dispose of their refuse ought to pay for the privilege. It doesn’t matter whether the payments come from auctioning emissions allowances or levying a carbon tax. Either way, it’s a user fee.
