Re: “Climate change and my pack-a-day habit of 25 years ago,” July 13 Perspective article.
Allen Bestap fine article reached a very sound conclusion: that our most sensible approach to global warming is a federal revenue-neutral tax on greenhouse gas emissions. In endorsing that idea, Best joins a growing number of conservative economists and business leaders who favor this market-based approach.
Studies are showing that when all of the tax revenue is given back to American households, employment, household income and GDP all rise while emissions go down. This is a solution that doesn’t increase the size of government and uses American capitalism to let the market solve a problem. Works for all of us, on both sides of the aisle.
