    If it were exemplary, our greenhouse gas emissions would go down like Prigozhin’s aeroplane. They don’t. Just like every other country we’re pretending to do something about the climate crisis but it’s too little, too late.

    If you mean we’re better at it than say the US or other major powers then yes, but that’s not because we’re doing well, it’s because we’re doing less catastrophically terrible than them.

      Ah yes, I’m totally with you. Maybe I was too enthusiastic in my wording.

      I meant I like the tax & dividend implementation, with the attempt to make the tax progressive, so it does not burden the poor, but the rich.

      Like all other carbon pricing schemes, the amount is way too low to have an effect quick and strong enough, that’s true.
