- roenxi 6y agoOk, but do you think there needed to be a misinformation campaign led by devious ne'er-do-wells to make raising taxes unpopular? That is a mechanism to achieve the goals of the environmental movement. Not a reason to achieve the goals of the environmentalists, or an argument that it is the best path.

The only sensible implementation of a carbon tax is the one in which all of the money is refunded to the population. A program that causes everybody to get ~$1000 while only paying ~$500 in taxes because large corporations are responsible for the majority of carbon emissions would seem to be very popular, absent a misinformation campaign, since the average person would net ~$500 (out of the pockets of Exxon et al).
