Right? Check my math. ERROR
"In a 2006 report,
British economist Sir Nicolas Stern concluded that a ton of CO2 damage
is worth at least $85, but those emissions can be cut at a cost of
roughly $25 per ton. And without cutting those emissions, our
business-as-usual scenario could cost the world between 5 percent and 20
percent of GDP in the coming decades." http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/08/07/651041/conservatives-now-is-the-time-to-positively-influence-climate-policy-and-challenge-gop-obstruction/
DAMAGE $312 / ton of carbon fuel burned = $85/ton CO2 X 3.67 (qty co2/ton of carbon)
COST TO CUT EMISSIONS: $91 / ton of carbon fuel = $25 to cut emissions of CO2 x 3.67
NET SAVINGS FROM EVERY TON OF CARBON FUEL ELIMINATED = $221
Yes? /// NO 9/1 - More calculating necessary.
Current best placeholder is Hansen's calc that it is about $12 trillion or $200 per ton to suck co2 out of the air - Storms of my Grandchildren to get back to a possibly habitable planet if we screw the kids, further.
