The person that’s out of touch is the person you made up in your head. Obviously it’s politically unpopular. I’m not saying we should drop a $9/gallon tax on gas. Just pointing out that that’s what it currently costs to undo the damage that that gallon does via one method of carbon sequestration (the one with the fewest trade-offs). But if we did implement a carbon tax, I’d hope it was coupled with rebates from the revenue to make it non-regressive. It could be made such that yearly rebates could offset the higher gas prices for those driving the average amount, while it becomes much more expensive to fly, which would impact the wealthy more. No one is advocating for allowing families to starve. That’s actually one of the major reasons to try to combat climate change, to prevent widespread famine.
