I feel like carbon taxes may be needed on some level in the US (and other parts of the world) as they force corporations to seek out less polluting alternatives/reduce use of fossil fuels.
It won’t 100% stop climate change but it could make quite a change
Also I feel like money collected from carbon taxes should be put towards helping those impacted by climate change, or fund solutions for climate change, directly or indirectly.
A carbon tax doesn’t have anything like the votes needed for passage in the US, even though it would be the most right-wing of possible effective climate policies.
