Proud to be in this photo of CCL's massive DC conference and lobby day last week. 500 Congressional meetings in support of revenue neutral, fully refunded carbon fee, dividend and border duty. @marinccl @citizensclimate

BOOM! Rachel Maddow REFUSED to air Trump’s post-arrest remarks on MSNBC because they weren’t “newsworthy.”
“As far as we can tell…he is repeating his same lies and allegations against his perceived enemies,” she said.
The most significant part of her decision was that it stood apart from other networks. While MSNBC completely ignored Trump’s speech, Fox News predictably carried it in full, and CNN aired most of the address.
Giving Donald Trump full coverage has led to disaster before. We are VERY lucky to have journalists like Rachel Maddow! 💙

Carbon Pricing Is a Better Policy Than Climate Disclosure realclearmarkets.com/article…
Seems like a no brainer:
🚨Can a #CarbonTax Fund #Climate Investments?🚨
In our new analysis, we find that coupling the climate investments from #BuildBackBetter with carbon taxes would amplify the reduction of carbon emissions AND turn costs into net savings.

Fantastic op-ed from CEOs in Utah arguing for a #PriceOnCarbon:
"If policymakers incentivize the market to give us clean air and zero-carbon energy, then the market will deliver... One possible option to reduce emissions is a carbon dividend approach."

When @SenWhitehouse stopped his "Time to Wake Up" speeches last year, he thought climate legislation was inevitable. With time running out & no climate bill passed, he's resumed those speeches. We need to let @POTUS & Congress know that failure is not an option on #ClimateChange.
Excellent depiction of the Tower of Babble around criticism and praise for #DontLookUp. He nails it. @citizensclimate #priceonpollution #climate reality#DontLookUp. He nails it. @citizensclimate #priceonpollution #climatereality
I wrote about the bizarre critical response to #DontLookUp: "If 'Don’t Look Up' is infuriating to watch, it is because it does a pitch-perfect job of channeling climate experts’ weary frustration at being ignored."

Listen to the experts!
New @NatureClimate study finds that a carbon fee & dividend policy (ala @citizensclimate) would lift 1.6 million Americans out of poverty by 2030, and have even bigger poverty-alleviating benefits in China & India.

This is brilliant! Irresistible logic: The climate won't wait. We need a carbon tax now bit.ly/2ZFKnXi @citizensclimate #PriceOnCarbon @ClimateReality

Two of the four main goals for #COP26 involve harmonized mechanisms for pricing carbon at its social cost. For this, we need bold leadership from world leaders, especially President #Biden and #JohnKerry, leadership which to date has been sorely lacking. forbes.com/sites/hershshefri…

Democrats Weigh Carbon Tax After Manchin Rejects Key Climate Provision nytimes.com/2021/10/16/clima… Manchin and Sinema could support a near-revenue-neutral carbon tax, if revenue goes to low- and middle-income, plus transition for FF workers. SOFA Act S.685 has this wired.
Sober up, everybody: Our constitutional crisis is already here washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
It's about time! Revenues should flow mainly back to people so they can afford the energy transition. Political durability is key, like social security.
"Senate Democrats are now considering the inclusion of a number of powerful tools we need in the fight against global warming — especially putting a #priceoncarbon emissions from fossil fuels."
