I'll become a #climate optimist when carbon is priced honestly by the major polluting countries.

... and carbon fees are distributed directly to the public (to avoid pain and Yellow Vest-like Protests)

The Fee and Dividend policy was first proposed by Dr. James Hansen.

His White paper: https://csas.earth.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Fee-and-Dividend-Miller-Hansen-20191110-1.pdf

You're dreaming if you think the energy companies will cut production voluntarily - without government regulation.

Voting out #climatechange deniers is step 1.

@lymphomation @ZLabe
It was great when we got Dr. James Hansen to join @citizensclimate to help lobby for a #PriceOnCarbon

A #PriceOnPolluton that returns the collected fees as an equal dividend to every citizen in order to help pay for their personal #EnergyTransition would be the fastest and most just way to #Decarbonize imo.

Too bad so many otherwise good #Climate leaders like @SeanCasten still oppose it, but if enough Americans #VoteBlue this fall perhaps we'll soon have a #CarbonTax
