> I'm pretty sure we will see more and more conflicts and climate refugees in our lifetime when people are driven from their land by floods, droughts, or similar.
I'm worried now. In France there's been some pretty intensive protesting over past two weeks, and from what I read it's about (or at least started as being about) increased petroleum tax. If this is in any way representative, then we can kiss proper emission taxing good-bye. The general population doesn't seem to appreciate the magnitude of the problem, and thus attempting to actually mitigate it seems a political suicide (and/or invitation for civil war).
