Climate change is not to be fixed by inflicting new taxes. Carbon taxes simply give more money to governments, which generally misuse such funds.

Research grants to fight AGW, now those are a different kettle of fish. Those can indeed make a positive difference. It is best if they are private, of course, but properly screen government grants can be useful.

Taxes on carbon make it more expensive, giving business a reason to change. Most are not going to do to because it’s the right thing to do.
