Please stop using class-warfare terms. It's very 1850 and is unproductive.
> non-greedy
If they are mammals or any biological organism, they are greedy, even if they hide it well.
If the carbon tax is simply passed to the consumer, this will have exactly the intended effect. People will pick the cheapest products and we'll end up with an economy that's optimizing for the most efficient ways of lowering carbon.

Because we’re definitely not, hence why saying things like “class talk is stuff from the past” comes from pure class privilege. > People will pick the cheapest products and we'll end u What’s cheaper than basic bread and basic cooking oil? Because the prices for those two have certainly gone up thanks to all the EGS craziness of “let’s not invest in fossil fuels anymore!”. Again, this type of speech and ignoring all these basic aspects comes from class privilege alone.
