Carbon costs should be included in the retail price of products and services

Carbon costs would not be included in all goods, but in certain goods which come from areas under threat of climate chnage. Carbon costs would be added only after it goes through strict chnanels of monitoring and certification, hence the argument of " Carbon costs being used by manufacturers for their benifit " is non existant.

No solution for climate change for climate change (on a global scale) can be made a reality if there are no Universal laws governing it!

Moreover, it is human nature to use more than want he needs. It is our greed which has brought us to a situation where we have to fight the climate. For the last half a century, scientists have been predicting climate change and the last two decades various means of reducing carbon emissions have been attempted in vain.

Enough time has lapsed for mankind to learn a soft lesson. Now is the point of no return.... even if all the wars in every corner of the world cease for good, man will have the greatest challenge in history... THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE! Unfortunately our powers are limited in comparison to that of nature.

Reducing carbon consumption is the best solution to mitigate climate change. Even if we stop all industires ....there is enough carbon in the atmosphere to largescale climate catastrophies. So WE need to stop carbon emission... The best being to add carbon cost to products and services coming from areas which are affected by climate change, and also those which are directly responsible for contributing large scale towards global warming. All food product, especially processed food should have this cost. However, this cost should be regulated as per income of individuals. The higher the food mile.... higher the cost.

This cost could then go towards rehabilitating affected areas and people.
Carbon conssesions is again a borderline solution..... people to switch towards ecofriendly products is not practical on a large scale when they have easy alternatives at a price only slightly higher.
Recession is a phenomenon that can be won over. It is important that the right decisions on mitigating climate chnage be made now.... for another recession could come our way souly brought about by climate change and food shortage

This is the time for customized and harsh yet sensible action!

No, carbon costs should be charged to producers not buyers(If buyers need the product it will sell anyway,being price inelastic and if they do not need the product then demand for it will fall and factories will have incentive to use more polluting less expensive(perhaps illegal/illicit/exploitative) means to make the product)  
 
However, if factories/companies/producers are charged as in cap and trade. Then they understand that the only way to get out of extra costs based on emissions(or other polluting behavior)is cut down.  
 
This way companies/producers are directly liable/accountable and have incentive to care for the Earth/GAYA
