Who decides whether an activity is "carbon emitting," or not?
Who should be deciding? There's a lot of complexities I don't understand:
Is methane production production from cattle something that should be taxed? Is logging a carbon-generating process or a carbon-sequestering process? If a well produces oil, should that be taxed, or should the consumer of the oil be taxed? Does the manufacture of plastic from oil qualify as a carbon-emitting activity?
Should carbon production from man-made features qualify as carbon emitting, such as new bodies of water created by hydrodams? What about new or growing natural features, such as swamps, that happen to be located in a country?
