My issue with carbon trading or any tax similar is
1) that it only hurts the little guys.
2) needs to be global, so no one can take advantage of it.
Business will not absorb the costs, they will only amortise it into their cost base and pass it through the system. So if it is not global, and globally policed, then all we do is create an unfair playing field for foreign entities to usurp local entities.
Just adding a "tax" to imports to compensate also doesn't do anything either, except make things more expensive for us. It doesn't change bad practice.
