This is why I support a carbon fee & dividend, which puts a price on carbon emissions and then sends an equal share of the proceeds to all citizens:
- If the fee incentivizes people to change their lifestyles and travel less or consume less, my future (and my child's) is improved.
- If the fee incentivizes industry to replace existing technology with carbon-neutral technology that allows everyone to maintain their lifestyles without forcing me to live in a worse world, my future (and my child's) is improved.
- If people and industry both decide to continue business as usual and simply pay the additional price on carbon then, yes, global ecosystems are in for a terrible time and food becomes way more expensive and cities will have to relocate or disband etc, but at least we are all properly compensated for our share of the ensuing misery.
