For some OECD countries it might in fact make some sense to opt for a significant structural change in the cash-flows of the economy in order to re-fresh government coffers with extra cash strip-mined from individuals and corporations by something like a carbon dioxide tax, although a tax on oxygen use and/or nitrogen production would probably make as much sense from both the scientific and economic point of view...
