Hitch climate tax to the ACTUAL CLIMATE, says top economist/The Register

A Canadian economist has an idea to tackle global warming so simple, it’s stunning no one has thought of it before.

Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics at the University of Guelph in Ontario, an IPCC expert reviewer and one of its leading critics, proposes a carbon tax with the rate tied to climate response. He explained the idea at the House of Lords yesterday before an audience that included the architect of the UK’s Climate Change Act.

The idea of an evidence-based tax alarmed some in the audience. And it was fascinating to see who was most alarmed by it.
