Who Wants To See Carbon Taxes Imposed Worldwide?

[DanieRains]

To reduce the coming destruction?

Thoughts?

1. Absolutely not...more than half of my money goes towards taxes now. Why should I subsidize

rich corporations who can damn well pay their own carbon taxes.

[DanieRains]

2. Uh To Keep From Burning To Death Or Drowning

2 reasons for starters.

Then there is starvation, coming.

War.

3. How do you impose a worldwide tax, so every country agrees to it?

[DanieRains]

4. Diplomacy - We Don't Help The Ones Who Don't Agree

Done.

5. Like China? I'm sure they need our help.

They already won't be part of the Paris Climate accord. Same with India I believe. Combined that is a large source of the world's carbon emissions

6. They Wouldn't Be If The World Didn't Buy Their Crap

This problem is solvable.

Pay for sequestration.

The only answer.

7. That's a revenue stream that will never die. It only extends the misery...

... and has, by far, the harshest impacts on people now living in poverty.

It's a highly regressive tax.

The only way out of this mess is to BAN FOSSIL FUELS.

Pick a target date, something less than twenty years, and fucking do it.

8. The Earth doesn't care about tax revenue streams.

I dont think that sacrificing a pile of money on the alter every year will change that amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
