Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for sharing the insightful perspective of The National Review on the ludicrous shell game which is sham - taxing carbon emissions.
Tongue-firmly-in-cheek :-)
It may make sense to tax nations with a negative balance of trees [which take in carbon dioxide and through photosynthesis emit oxygen] in a semi-log ratio compared to major sources of carbon dioxide including humans and animals [census could be used for estimate]. This would weigh heavily on Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States as well as Russia and Greenland :-)
Don't be surprised if somebody in the government isn't working on similar convoluted process :-)

"the Climate Leadership Council’s plan — recently backed by 27 Nobel Prize–winning economists and other economic luminaries — calls for a nationwide tax starting at $40 a ton on carbon dioxide emissions, on efficiency grounds. (All figures in U.S. dollars.) It vows that “the majority of American families . . . will benefit financially by receiving more in ‘carbon dividends’ than they pay in increased energy prices.” A tax that pays you sure sounds appealing! But a word of caution: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Up here in Canada, we’ve been burned by the same promise."

Exactly what they should be doing. If I were a producer of flags I would make that one.
