Not all Republicans are skeptics of climate change. In fact, a group of Republic senior statesmen are pushing for a carbon tax to combat the effects of climate change. They want to put in place a gradually increasing carbon tax, with dividends being returned to the people, as well as border adjustments for the carbon content of exports and imports. The overall goal is to lower the country’s consumption of fossil fuels by raising the costs. The GOP statesmen are hopeful they will be able to sell their plan to the White House.
