The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Oh, wait, nevemind, it’s just CNN. FakeNews

How about pegging carbon taxes and fossil fuel subsidy cuts at double the climate costs of the past year? Use 1/2 to pay full remediation costs and 1/2 towards incentives and investments into green energy transition.
