Some subscribers to MathEdCC might be interested in a recent post
"Would a Carbon Tax Save Life on Planet Earth?" [Hake (2013)]. The
abstract reads:

**************************************
ABSTRACT: James Hansen, former head of the NASA Goddard Institute for
Space Studies, in "The Courage to Fight Climate Change" at
<http://bit.ly/12djtSf> wrote: "We must have a simple, honest,
across-the-board carbon fee collected from the fossil fuel companies
at the small number of domestic mines and ports of entry. All of that
money should be distributed to the public-100 percent of it-with
equal amounts going to all legal residents."

A Google <http://www.google.com/> search for "Carbon Tax" turned up
4,210,000 hits at <http://bit.ly/153PQQV> on 03 June 10:30-0700,
including the Wikipedi entries on "Carbon Tax" at
<http://bit.ly/118dUBp> and on "Emissions Control" at
<http://bit.ly/15tshjV>. In my opinion: (a) The *more* important hits
are listed in the over twenty references in the REFERENCE list in the
complete post at <http://yhoo.it/16ECfUn>, and (b) the *most*
important hits are these six:

(1) "The Courage to Fight Climate Change" [Hansen & Romm (2013)] at
<http://bit.ly/12djtSf>,

(2) "The People vs. Cap-and-Trade" [Hansen (2010b)] at <http://bit.ly/17OhN3w>,
