Taxing carbon is one thing, it's much like taxing certain products of consumption, however, carbon "credits" sounds like a shell game. Because some dick/jane says he/she will not produce carbon that they may or may not have produced, if you pay them, sounds like a gimic that actually has zero net benifit except for those taking other people's money.
