You can have a CO2 tax with lump-sum compensation for poor countries, i.e. use some of that revenue for development aid. It's not that you have to make the poor worse off when you implement a CBAM. That's a choice by policymakers of how they want to design it.

I think price mechanisms are useful, so net new subsidies tied to voluntary reductions are good by me. It makes sense to abate some emissions in poor countries but w/ compensation, not by convincing poor people to sacrifice for rich people -- that's kind of what instilling environmentalist views is

Do you mean the need to persuade the rich to abate CO2 emissions? Even w/o that, most emissions reductions by the global poor will do them more harm than good. (there are exceptions, e.g., use a more fuel-efficient stove, but then it's not about environmentalism, just giving a cost-saving tip.)

this was my solution too. add, subtract, multiply cycle

We'll take what we can get
