Global Warming Climate Change Solution: Shift to Carbon Tax

A Tax Shift to Fossil Fuels Lowers Global Warming Sooner and at Less Cost

A sales tax on fossil fuels, such as oil, coal or natural gas is commonly referred to as a “carbon tax” because burning these fuels produce carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

I will be explaining on these pages the reasons why a shift from other taxes to a carbon tax: (a) reduces global warming sooner and (b) costs less, than the micromanaging liberal-socialist approaches currently being used by many governments. These are typically subsidies and regulations that: (a) favor a variety of alternative energy sources that do not produce carbon dioxide or (b) reduce energy consumption.

First I prove to the global warming skeptics or deniers that global warming and its resulting climate changes are happening, are driven by human activity and are causing harm to humans, animals and the environment.

Then I show why the measures taken so far are so ineffective and expensive due to the micromanaging mentality that drives them. We start by explaining what we have today to see why this tax-shifting proposal is so much better.

Lastly, I show the advantages of the shift to a tax on fossil fuels that produce carbon dioxide.
