I fully agree with that. I think this argument that the price of pollution is going to increase prices and we don't know where that money is going to get spent is the wrong side of the argument to be on. I think the real discussion is about how we make sure the money we generate is spent on that low carbon future. That's about protecting spaces as natural carbon sinks. That's about natural climate solutions across the board. That's also about investing in all the things that you said in terms of a zero- or net-positive carbon future. To me the argument that the price isn't going to make the change is a fallacy, because it's where the money goes and how we direct it, and we should spend more time thinking about that.
