IN A NUTSHELL: A CARBON TAX WOULD HELP SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT BY FORCING CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH CO2 THEY ARE EMITTING, AND REDUCE THEIR NON-NECESSARY POLLUTION VOLUNTARILY. IT IS A MARKET-DRIVEN SOLUTION, FAVORED BY MODERATE AND CONSERVATIVE ECONOMISTS WHO DO NOT DENY SCIENCE. WHAT WE CHOOSE TO SPEND THE PROCEEDS OF THE CARBON TAX ON IS NOT TRULY IMPORTANT. MAYBE WE CAN USE IT TO FUND A BORDER WALL? WOULD THAT MAKE YOU GUYS HAPPY?
