How do you combine carbon and chlorine?

Answer:
CH4 + 4Cl2 -----> CCl2 + 4HCl
This is the current common method of tetrachloride synthesis, under heat and pressure, although another involves further chlorinating of chlorocarbons e.g. C2Cl6 + Cl2. Earlier methods used chloroform or disulphide, reacted with chlorine.
