Just one specie of bug, termites, produce several times the carbon emissions globally as humans do. Last time I checked, there was no way to tax these little critters;-)

But before we slice hairs about carbon, we must return to the fact carbon emissions are not causing any harm to the planet.

I live in Pittsburgh and the sewage company charges me a "stormwater fee" every month.

They calculated how much area I have that is a hard surface - roof, sidewalk, driveway, steps, etc.

So they figure all this space does not absorb rainwater.

In other words, we are being charged a rain tax.
