OK so instead of saying that the concept of a price on carbon is bonkers without any explanation, perhaps we can start here. Explain why Australia's emissions went south during the ETS and when Abbott came in and celebrated the dismantling of the ETS, it immediately went north ?

What I find weird is that you ^^^ are banging on about how we are starving the land of carbon, yet the very nature of an ETS encourages this very thing.
"In this (2012 ETS) scheme “credits” could only be obtained in two ways: via the Carbon Farming Initiative where Australian farmers were paid to maintain their land as carbon sinks, and by already possessing credit from participation in the Kyoto Protocols. The scheme was limited to Scope 1 emissions (combustion of fuels, fugitive, industrial & landfill emissions) and wouldn’t be applied to fuel, though small changes were made to fuel excise and tax credits in a bid to price pollution from transportation. And, most importantly, the scheme worked. In its three years of operation Australian carbon emissions fell significantly as high-emitting entities changed their behaviour."
Australia’s Ill-Fated Emissions Trading System - Climate Scorecard
In 2011 Australia’s federal government, led by Labor PM Julia Gillard, passed the Clean Energy Act. The Act sought to regulate carbon pollution by putting a fixed price on emissions, which would be overseen by a newly-created regulator. Entities that emitted above a certain threshold would need...www.climatescorecard.org
You don't want to discuss it, but at the same time dismiss it as a capitalist money grab ? Look I know you are pig headed and only want to talk about your take on things, but it's a fact that Climate Change and your baby Desertification are absolutely correlative, and hence emissions, are a significant factor of the equation..

If you think that carbon sequestration is the only thing necessary to slow down or combat climate change, then you need to look beyond your biases. Even people who are fans of Allan Savory's work, don't limit it as the silver bullet. We need a holistic approach and attack it from all angles.
Studying three grazing areas in northern Texas, Richard Teague, Ph.D., a range ecologist at Texas A&M University, found that the soil on the ones managed regeneratively had the greatest water- and nutrient-retaining abilities, as well as the highest concentrations of sequestered carbon. Other research has shown the ability of regeneratively tended land to trap greenhouse gases. A study in the journal Rangeland Ecology & Management found that holistic farming was able to sequester 106 grams of carbon per square meter annually. Other pasture-management approaches released around 200 grams. Project Drawdown, a nonprofit coalition of scientists, policy makers and business leaders aimed at identifying solutions to climate change, believes the potential for carbon sequestration is so great that it ranks farming methods like Savory’s ninth on their list of the 80 most effective things that can be done to counteract methane emissions and sequester carbon—above crop-only regenerative practices where no livestock are involved. They call it a “climatic win-win.”

Sorry but this just boneheaded howling at the moon.
Correlative? Like ice cream sales at the beach and shark attacks? So if we want to reduce shark attacks we should stop selling ice creams at the beach.You don't want to discuss it, but at the same time dismiss it as a capitalist money grab ?

WTF are you talking about ?
Ice creams. Sharks. Do the math FFS!
You think they're selling you a simple treat but it's really a ticket in a gruesome death lottery.
Just another riddle I guess.
I hate it when that happens.
When merkins say they don’t want to discuss something they generally mean they don’t want to think about it.
