Systemic vs individual #ClimateAction aside, do you get anxiety about your own #CarbonFootprint because your job requires you to fly from time to time? Hub co-chair #RobertTremblay has a cool answer for you: calculate your emissions, charge yourself a #CarbonFee & donate it to the Hub!

Robert Tremblay quote reads "I often have to fly for work. So the way I try to reconcile that with taking action on climate is by "charging" myself a carbon fee of $500/t and donating it to orgs doing great work on climate. Over the last couple of months I have had to fly round trip to Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa twice, totaling 1.61t of emissions. At $500/t that = $805 that I'm sure the Hub can put to good work reducing much more than 1.61t of emissions! Keep up the great work team!" Image of Rob with a megaphone and various Hub events

#CarbonFee and dividend policy would charge corporations for their #CarbonPollution, then distribute the money collected back to American households. This would force down carbon pollution while addressing cost increases for middle-class, working-class, and poor people.

'Climate Damages Tax': Fossil fuel levy could raise $720bn to tackle climate crisis

"The report proposes that OECD countries, and in particular members of the G7, should take a lead in introducing a fee per tonne of CO2 embedded (CO2e) within the domestic extraction of coal, oil, and gas."

It advocates for 80% of the proceeds to be transferred to a Loss and Damage Fund for assisting developing countries, 20% for domestic communities.

Trudeau says there will 'absolutely not' be further carbon tax exemptions | CBC News

This is the poorest judgment Trudeau has ever shown.

He's done lots of things I disagree with but I always thought he was good at calculating political fallout.

This was utterly foolish. He has cemented Poilievre's win in the next election; a disaster for Canada and the world.

So today I found out that if you're in the US, Citizens' Climate Lobby has an easy pre-written form that you can use to send to your Representatives to urge them to support the Energy Innovation Act, which puts a price on carbon. Large corporations contribute far more to climate change than any consumer could ever hope to, so I'd highly urge anyone to take a few minutes to send a few emails off:

What are #CarbonFee and #CarbonDividends ?

In Ontario, Canada where I live our #carbonfee just went up to $65/ton. Since we have a version of James Hanson’s fee and dividend carbon policy our projected carbon dividend this year is close to $1000 paid quarterly. As an engineer I like the simple elegance of the #feeanddividend policy. Both the fee and the dividend naturally incentivize a move away from fossil fuels. The question I still have is $65/ton and $1000/yr enough to get job done.

Update from the #MoneyPipeline:

Outgoing head of Financial Stability Board calls for a global #CarbonFee to give banks a #climate price signal.

Nice.
But #WeDontHaveTime for such a fee to get installed. Such talk is climate #delay, just what climate deniers want to see.

Banks don't need such a price signal. They just need to look at the #ClimateRisk honestly ("fiduciary duty", anyone?) and act accordingly.
