The change will be incremental, policy makers will have time to see that the funding is evaporating and identify alternative sources. For example, increased GDP from an economy no longer plagued by pollution and the devastating weather events caused by climate change.

Right, so you’ve just admitted your argument is flawed, it won’t work in the long run, and “it’s complicated”.

But yeah, sounds absolutely perfect, carbon tax plus ubi. Problem is that’s it, it sounds great.
