It’s a political problem more than an economic one and that’s what got us here in the first place. What a sad thing to watch.

Green New Deal had great potential as a political framing. But in overreaching and dividing would-be allies, I fear that Sunrise's GND resolution has exacerbated the political problem.
-
I think this is a case of "anyone driving faster than me is a maniac, and anyone driving slower than me is an idiot". Whether a proposal is overreaching or appropriate is entirely in the eye of behold and not based on any empirical assessment.
-
Empirically, we see that senators didn't vote for it and many advocates of climate action oppose it. I suppose we could fault the resolution or fault the would-be allies.
-
Probably the same reason why most House Rs voted for the 'carbon tax is bad for US' resolution last year. If there's not reason it will pass, why expose your hand? I'm not sure if we should interpret the vote as there being little/no support for it.

Sounds good to me. Next question for James Hansen: How high does it have to be -- how much per metric ton of carbon?
-
All the arguments about
#carbonfeesanddividend political proposal are available from years in the@drJamesHansen web site http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/ Here last Carbon opportunity cost updating http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2018/20180816_Hansen.CostOfCarbonCapture.Joule.pdf …#greenrealdream -
Thanks - these cost of carbon capture & storage estimates are much higher than the carbon taxes outlined by politicians, which are $10-$40 per ton. Not sure that the tax rates that *may* be politically feasible would do what needs to be done in the available time.

Carolin, please check out the http://energyinnovationact.org , H.R.763. 34 co-sponsors as of today, starts at $15/ton, goes up $10-$15/year, would reduce emissions at least 40% in twelve years, incentivizes international action. Politically feasible when we make it so.

Any action to reduce CO2 sooner rather than later is good. A tax that starts low and increases every year makes sense - gives people a chance to plan. Carbon dividends, some form of green new deal that people can agree on, climate-related financial disclosure, ...we need it all.

Hansen has lost track of the fact that climate change is a systems problem We can’t address it one piece at a time and there is no single solution.
-
He has a very sober view. He is against excluding any technology on ideological reasons.

It's sad that Hansen either isn't aware of how fast we need to move, now that we've waited most of his professional life and done worse than nothing, or somehow thinks carbon taxes can move us that fast (which sane economists doubt).

The average oil rig worker has made a greater contribution to the betterment of humanity than these four jokers put together. At least in the former case you have something of real and practical value and use. In the latter cases, the sound of monkey chatter.

To his credit, Dr. Hansen is also in favor of nuclear power.

Like many scientists he should stick to what he loves doing, good science. Many scientists have odd absences in their heads for thinking about who others are, what they’re capable of, what they need. Lot of scientists were /are conservatives. Do for oneself, ‘got mine/get yours’.
