Interestingly, Greg Mankiw's BMW 330xi gets about 17 MPG, in the city, and emits 9.2 tons of greenhouse-gas emissions per year. Does he not believe that his beloved carbon tax will be implemented in practice? Does he plan to sell his car if and when such a thing happens?

Also, don't Harvard students learn to put units on their y-axes these days?
