Hansen's carbon tax and distribution method has merit

Comments on James Hansen “Only a carbon tax and nuclear power can save us”, 11/03/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/only-a-carbon-tax-and-nuclear-power-can-save-us/story-e6frg6zo-1225839327862

I share Hansen's view on carbon emission tax and the principle of distributing the revenue on an equal basis, although I would argue the distribution should be based on per person as opposed to per adult.

Also I think it is possible to have a global carbon emissions tax and apply the same distribution principle among the whole world population.

But that difference is subtle and not substantial.

Applaud Hansen.
