No doubt there are brilliant professors that will say exactly what you are suggesting here, and I am certain that if I asked you to provide support for this claim, you very likely could. However, did you have any particular economists in mind when you posted this? When was the last time you reviewed their published work extolling the virtues of a carbon tax that made you confident enough to make this claim? Or rather, do you just assume this to be true? Here's another question: what is the price on carbon that these brilliant professors are recommending?
