One of Time Magazine's 100 most influencial peple this year is economist, and nobel prize winner Paul Krugman. Krugman wrote a blog taking a crack at the skeptical side of having price on carbon on April 29th, 2009 for the New York Times. He wrote that "Opponents of a policy change generally believe that market economies are wonderful things, able to adapt to just about anything — anything, that is, except a government policy that puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions. Limits on the world supply of oil, land, water — no problem. Limits on the amount of CO2 we can emit — total disaster.
Funny how that is." Check out the article to find out more.
