Event Summary:

 

Executive Director of the Citizens' Climate Lobby, Mark Reynolds, invites you to hear how CCL is advocating for clear and simple economic incentives to reduce our carbon emissions. 
 

 

Event Detail:

 

As long as fossil fuels remain artificially cheap and profitable, their use will rise. Correcting this market failure requires their price to account for their true social costs.  Carbon Fee and Dividend is the policy proposal created by Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) to internalize the costs of burning carbon-based fuels.  To gain bipartisan support, they advocate for a true cost-comparison between competing fuels AND reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  A national carbon price, with full revenue return and border adjustments, will do four things: internalize the social cost of carbon-based fuels, rapidly achieve large emission reductions, stimulate the economy & recruit global participation. 

And it will do so in revenue neutral method.

 

Based on what climate scientists and economist alike tell us, CCL believes that the Carbon Fee and Dividend is the best first step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to mitigate the impacts of a changing climate. Members of Citizens Climate Lobby actively advocate to their elected officials.  Politicians don't create political will, they respond to it. Citizens who are well-trained, organized by Congressional district and with a good system of support can truly influence the political process.
