Listening to Dr. James Hanson & how this "carbon tax" has been implemented in other areas is it is a separate fund not connected to any other "entitlement"...100% of the tax money collected from major CO2 producers is then returned to the citizens in the form of a what Dr. Hanson calls "Green Checks"...This will in most cases offset the increased cost of energy.

Regardless, if we don't do something the poor & middle class will suffer far more than any issue with so-called entitlements...If we sit back & complain about the rise in cost & decide to do nothing then in 30-50yrs folks will wish all they had to worry about was entitlement funding.

Anthropogenic Climate Change is LITERALLY the most catastrophic issue humans have ever had to face! But this seems to lost on most people which is fucking INSANE!!
