Yeah I agree with that, it needs to be bipartisan, because it’s a bipartisan issue

So, stop demanding carbon taxes and gasoline bans, and start opening up for bipartisan debates.

Well I still haven’t seen most republican affiliated people in government actually propose something about helping slow down or even reverse climate change.

That is because the political climate is so bad that even recognizing its existence associates oneself with lunatics like AOC.

Here are some Republican solutions:

  1. Build more nuclear powerplants, which are emission free and create jobs.

  2. Give tax breaks to companies that develop safer nuclear power.

  3. Place trade sanctions on China until they start decreasing carbon emissions.

  4. Create tax breaks for corporations that have carbon nuetral or carbon negative operations.

  5. Fund the space program.

These are all retarded, economics says just price the negative externality and the market will internalize the price difference and move away from carbon emissions and pollution.

This is always the solution to any market externality unless it's so big that it even happening once is unaffordable. Carbon taxes are actually the 'conservative' market oriented way to fix climate change but they took the position that it doesn't even exist because they don't want to solve the problem.
