A carbon price should be top of the wish list at the climate talks
A $50-a-tonne carbon price (ie, tax) at an identified future date. It comes from a coalition of some of the world’s biggest banks, asset managers and insurance companies, known as the Sustainable Markets Initiative.
The message is that the best way to change behaviour to save the planet is to change relative prices.

We need a carbon tax now
Collectively we make many billions of decisions every day about what to buy, how to travel and where to set the thermostat. We cannot be expected to do so with Berners-Lee at hand.
The brilliance of a carbon tax is that we would not have to.
