I am in favour of a carbon tax that is connected to reasonable estimates of future harms (e.g. social cost of carbon). But AGW alarmists don't like that solution because a reasonable price for carbon emissions is not enough to change behavoir because the cost of the alternatives is so high. The end result is are smoke and mirror scams designed to look like something is being done when in reality nothing changes.
It does work, we've had a carbon tax in BC for some time and it has reduced emissions and last I looked was basically revenue neutral. It seems it's as simple as making people think and plan ahead, such as making one trip to the grocery store to get everything instead of going back three times.
