But remember, this is already incredibly challenging (it requires *all* nations to tax all carbon, all at the same pace across the century If not, the policy costs will escalate, making climate policy less effective and possibly net damaging

And Thunberg's solution to "just say no" is not only naive and impossible. Trying to attain it, will incur tens or even hundreds of trillions of dollars of net costs. World Economic Forum is committed to improving the state of the world – and this ain't it
