A great day in Concord with @rokhanna.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, and 3000 others. I spoke about charging fossil fuel billionaires for their pollution and giving the money to us. Many signed up with CCL to help create political will for Carbon Fee and Dividend legislation. bit.ly/cfdresources!

I was one of 4000 people in Concord NH with #NoKings 6/14 rallying to protect our Democracy. It was fantastic to see confirmation that many citizens are as distressed about the authoritarian power grab as I am. See NoKings.org/next.

It looks like rain on the conman's parade today. Perfect weather in DC at 6:30 pm for it. Perhaps the whole fascist cosplay should just be canceled right now?

A thought experiment: what if Biden had listened to most economists and implemented a Carbon Fee and Dividend in 2021 with sweeteners for viability and durability, and McKenna-class comms to inoculate against disinformation.

Violence would be counter productive. We need numbers. In 1970, 10% of all Americans hit the street on Earth Day in protest of industrial air and water pollution, and as a result the Nixon Administration passed the Clean Air & Clean Water Acts & created the EPA. bit.ly/carbon-price-gap-presentation

Write Congress for CF&D. Fossil fuel billionaires want to replace our democracy with a christian nationalist autocracy, but that is not what most Americans want.
Resist.
It shouldn't be free to pollute, and if Congress gives the money back to us we'll have less pollution and more money.
Pass it on!

It's not total immunity, it's only immunity for actions taken related to being president. Starting a meme coin and making billions of dollars from those buying it to curry favor is open to emoluments charges. He's still got 3 federal indictments pending. We can all push for law & order.

That would get us to 1.8˚C (not down to the CF&D + complementary policies' 1.5˚C level), cost $6 trillion a year for most of the century, and many economists would say cutting GDP off at the knees like this would negatively impact billions of people.

Hansen has long advocated for Carbon Fee and Dividend with a CBAM, which puts a price on all greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Including jet fuel.

A steadily rising carbon fee on fossil fuel production and imports is the most effective climate policy.

Americans wanted cheaper eggs, healthcare, less virtue signaling, and more efficient markets. Not crony capitalism or a dictatorship. The orange conman gave them hope. (He lied).

Excellent point. Then, to not get stuck in the insufficient response of "more trees, nuclear, and carbon capture", I refer them to MIT's En-ROADS climate policy simulator and ask them to demonstrate how their suggested policy mix gets us to our 1.5°C goal.

Your solution sounds like hopium. Military strength doesn't get the US everything it wants.
MIT's En-ROADS shows a steadily rising carbon fee on fossil fuel production of $10/tCO2 annually gets us halfway to our 1.5% goal.

A market failure created climate change. When pollution is free we get too much of it. A cash-back carbon fee on fossil fuel production and imports, rising $10/year and pushed worldwide with a CBAM, is half the 1.5°C solution. #CarbonFeeAndDividend
