The people pledging to solve the problem are actually making it worse by not coming up with a plan. They think the problem will solve itself if they just pay a chunk of GDP to unelected UN bureaucrats (who also don't have a plan).

All that does is leave you less well off, meaning you have less to invest in real solutions.

Carbon taxes are a power grab by globalists and have no impact on solving the problems they claim to be taking the money for.

Pigovian taxes WORK: If something is more expensive, people take steps to avoid doing that thing. They work twice as well if you re-invest the revenue raised into addressing the negative externalities.

I see you whining a lot in this thread about how "globalists" (whoever those are) don't have a good plan. What's your plan? And remember, "do nothing" is not a viable plan because then the fish and crops die.
