> Taxing CO2 is literally the last thing “the financial elites” want - it’s a policy that’s been pushed by scientists and economists for decades but never gained political traction due to an intense lobbying campaign from the oil and gas industry. Simply not true. "Scientists" didn't come up with carbon tax. Bankers did and they hired economists to peddle the idea. > That’s also not what Thunberg advocates for. Thunberg primarily advocates for more aggressive national emissions reductions targets. She says that her drastic personal lifestyle changes (e.g. being vegan) are meant to raise awareness about environmentalism, Ah yes, lets take advice from a 15 year old who knows absolutely nothing about anything. Climate fanatics scream "listen to the experts". Then then bring up a manipulated teen with obvious mental and emotional problems as their champion. You say "the rich and powerful" aren't backing them and yet every major organization from the UN to World Bank is pushing the "vegan" nonsense not to mention carbon tax. Remember "taxation without representation"? A global carbon tax is the epitome of that. So who is king george now and who are the ones advocating for it? If there is going to be a global tax, there should be a global government which has authority from the global population. Not just from greedy financiers who want another financial assets to leech money from the masses to line their pockets.
