Mellissa if you're old enough you've lived through this before. It was the 1970's and all the governments and experts were telling us that oil was going to run out (technically true), we were told the world as we knew it would be horrible with no oil. Taxes were raised on gas at the pumps, if you bought a new car and it had A/C you paid an additional tax. Solar power came to be. The masses supported the new taxes, we had to do something to avert this impending disaster. Of course as we know consumption didn't decline as a result of the new taxes and the 1980s came and the lie of no more oil? Well everyone just stopped taking about it, and eventually it became forgotten, but all those extra taxes, they stayed of course. . In the 2020's once all he taxes have been set in place, the talk of the impending climate disaster will just go away as the earth's temperature won't be supporting the claim, the taxes will stay however.
