Carbon has a price.
Put a price on carbon pollution and make the polluters pay for the damage they are doing to our environment.
"We need to put a price on carbon to sharply diminish the amount of carbon pollution in our atmosphere and encourage innovation in sustainability. Carbon dioxide is one of several heat-trapping greenhouse gases emitted by humans. The scientific consensus is that human-induced greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of global warming, and that carbon dioxide is the most important of these gases. A carbon tax would be a cost effective way to hold the biggest polluters accountable for their actions, and we could use this tax to help the people impacted by the pollution the most - the poor. A number of countries have already implemented carbon taxes or energy taxes that are related to carbon content."

Thanks to Global Warming, Arctic Shipping Has Quadrupled in the Past Year
There are benefits in the melting of the Arctic, but the risks are much greater
As Climate Central’s Andrew Freedman recently pointed out, the United States is essentially helpless in the Arctic, with zero Navy surface ships capable of navigating the icy waters and the Senate unwilling to ratify the UN convention that facilitates diplomacy in the region. That’s a big concern, given that the new shipping routes come with dangers ranging from lost lives to environmentally disastrous spills to territorial disputes
