This comment is currently being downvoted, seemingly only for political reasons. It provides a clearly stated opinion not hostile towards anybody.

I guess the HN crowd is not the once who like to hear that carbon tax might actually be a good solution.

Dang, I thought it was because I said “market based” and “market forces”. I can’t tell if I’m too left wing or too right wing.

That is actually the reason I was surprised to it being downvoted. The comment gives both right wing and left wing solutions. But it’s not being downvoted any more, so I guess HN-ers are now reading the full answer, instead of hitting that down arrow as soon as they see a praise for a tax.
