Not having a price on the emissions amounts to an enormous subsidy paid by everyone, though not equally.

Very true, I was thinking of geographical and income differences but now Vs the future is a very good point. I've recently had a kid and there's a decent chance they could live to see 2100 which puts predictions for the century in a whe new context for me. It's simple maths so it shouldn't have taken having a child for that to feel so real but still.
