      erryone be talking about global warming but no one actually wants to do anything that would actually solve it like geoengineering or mass nuclear. theyre just aesthetic primitivistshttps://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1426185570594689029 …

      no one actually cares about global warming as a problem to be solved. its just intense virtue signalling of the worst kind in the sense of appearing to care about a problem is everything and resolving it is nothing carbon taxes? great solution.

      you can make carbon taxes revenue neutral by offsetting with tax cuts elsewhere if you like. I would prefer this myself. it wouldnt raise cost of living everywhere; in the revenue neutral case it would lower cost of living in low carbon use areas

      but to the extent that it incentivizes people away from high intensity carbon areas, or technologies to make high carbon areas lower carbon, thats definitely the point

      for evidence that they do work, on a smaller scale, you can look at how we solved acid rain with cap and trade (functionally/economically equivalent) the major real problem with carbon taxes is that you would need china and India to implement them 🙃https://www.edf.org/approach/markets/acid-rain …

          that's the whole answer though. the reason we don't take serious action on climate change is become of geopolitics. it's like that thing when two stags are fighting and their horns lock and they can't get out then they both starve to death in a ditch.

          I haven't read the article, but I think the thing, though, is there's hardly any alternative that is as convenient in multiple dimensions as fossil fuels, which probably wasn't that much of a problem when looking for alternatives to carbon with high S content
