When police experts debate climate change solutions, they often talk about “a price on carbon". They are (argue) about whether companies shouldpay when they put carbon pollution in the air.
Carbon pollution, like every other from of pollution, (have) an impact on the environment.
(throw) waste into a river will cause the fish to die and the people
drink the water to get sick. And when you produce carbon pollution, you get climate change-sea level rise, stronger storms, severe droughts, damage to agriculture, and more.
All of those impacts cost money. Insurance rates go up when storms get more (destruction). Taxes increase when cities have to rebuild bridges and roads. Military budgets go up when droughts and population
(change) cause conflict, not to mention impacts on agriculture and health care costs.

(limit) the pollution that causes climate change. So the debate is
(real) about who will pay that price--
companies which are making a profit from the fossil fuels, or the taxpayers who pick up the cost now?
