Big Oil Presents ‘Conservative Climate Solution’


Big Oil Presents ‘Conservative Climate Solution’
Big oil companies like Exxon Mobil and BP stepped up yesterday to support a plan to tax carbon emissions put forth by a group of Republicans.
The Climate Leadership Council group presented a “conservative climate solution” in February that taxed greenhouse gas emissions and returned the money to taxpayers in the form of a “climate dividend.”
We talk about the Republican efforts with Citizens’ Climate Lobby legislative director and director of research Danny Richter.
