Re “Crucial CO2 gauge hits key level,” May 11

Our failure as a nation to address the climate change crisis is heartbreaking. We must transition off fossil fuels, period. And we have at our disposal a simple mechanism to make that happen: a carbon tax. Tax carbon at the mine or port and invest the money in clean energy.

It is ridiculous to insist that we can’t afford it. We should be putting every resource available into the fight to maintain a habitable planet.
