this really made me skeptical when they said that it hurts "the poor". and then when I heard they want grab money from wealthier countries and spread it to poor countries it confirmed it. sounds like welfare.
Yea, and when you tax fuels out of sight the impact is going to be first and foremost on the poor. The poor will stay at home, and the rich can drive past them in their 4x4.
Ration the stuff, that way we all get the same allowance. Will you go for that? Not a hope. There isn't enough tax in that one.
Even better, lets tax fossil fuels, which the top 5% use 40 times more of than the bottom 5% and then use that income to cut income tax with the biggest cuts at the bottom.
Stupid policies are possible but not all solutions are stupid.
Climate change is an awful problem, dangerous heatwaves, less rainfall, more dieases such as malaria etc. It's not just China it's all of the industrial world. Not too mention more and more cars on the roads.

So let's tax fuel out of sight so that the poor and vilnerable of the world cannot afford to use it.
