Reddit mentions of Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth about the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity

This plan is often called "fee and dividend." Its advocates include:

• Leading climatologist James Hansen, in his book Storms of My Grandchildren.
  
  
• Economist Steven Stoft, who wrote a whole book about it called Carbonomics.
  
  
• The Citizen's Climate Lobby, whose main purpose is to promote this exact plan.
  
  So I would say it's legitimate. It's nice to see some Republicans warming up to it; it's a market-based solution that doesn't increase government revenue, so it seems a good fit if they can get over their rampant climate denialism.
  
  Rex Tillerson, believe it or not, has publicly supported a carbon tax, for example in this speech. In general the oil companies have been warming up to the idea, preferring it to a hodgepodge of state-level systems.
  
  The defeat of WA's carbon tax initiative took the pressure off, and with Trump and GOP dominance, it seems unlikely that this will happen within the next couple years at least. But maybe the "border carbon adjustment" would appeal to Trump; importers taxed and the money going to working people.
  
  Edit: Here's James Hansen's comment on this Republican proposal. He likes it and is somewhat optimistic. Also describes how both Republicans and Democrats tend to modify it in damaging ways.

It's also only $1.99 for the Kindle version this month. Definitely worth picking up, especially at that price.
