Just what is a climate tax?  Olivia Lai in her article dated January 6, 2022, Carbon Tax in the USA, describes it accordingly:
 
“A carbon tax is a growingly popular financial mechanism used to combat climate change by imposing a direct price on greenhouse gas emissions produced by companies and industries. By charging polluters the emissions they produce by the tonne, the tax creates an economic incentive for companies to reduce their carbon activity or invest and switch towards cleaner fuels or technologies.”
 
Carbon credits compared to Catholic Church Middle Ages indulgences
 
David Icke had an interesting way of explaining carbon credits going back to the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, “how commoners were convinced to buy indulgences for their sins, from which the Catholic Church became rich.” 
 
“Similarly, today, our overlords—the mainstream media, central bankers, and their political allies—are working overtime to convince the commoners to pay for their alleged climate sins.”

From what? Global warming from 'greenhouse gases' is a fiction.

Bad initial assumption: That the planet, which has been here for 2200 times as long as the line of humans, needs any saving from a bunch of upstarts.

With or without us, the planet will still be here, albeit with some changes (gee, just like the past), at least until the sun goes nova or something really big runs into it, neither of which humans could do one damned thing to prevent.

This is as stupid as all those people from hot climates wanting us to freeze to death in electric vehicles up here to make the planet cooler.

Send those pinheads up here for a winter, and we'll cure them, at least the ones who survive it.
