A generational tax. Very interesting. Better get it in before that generation dies and everyone plays the "who do you blame? they're all dead" game like with native american genocide, slavery, etc.

Are you a swedish citizen?

You've mentioned "swedish" twice now in the context of Switzerland. You've got them confused.

Oops

I don’t know where you live, but there is still more to loose. Hundreds died in the Pacific Northwest because of a recent heatwave, many more lost hours at work because businesses were closed down. Adapting to this will require households and businesses purchase air conditioners and utilities will need to update infrastructure to support increased energy demands. All that will lead to increased financial demands on people and businesses. Like it or not, we’re all paying for global warming one way or the other.

An expense for businesses and households that can afford it (and they'll surely write it off their taxes), is not equivalent to the impact on poor people who will be put on the street if they aren't already homeless. It's delusional to think that we'll make any impact on climate change by asking the poor and young to sacrifice what little quality of life they have left. In the end, people are going to vote for their best interests. Rich people that benefit from polluting and exploiting the environment and the poor/young have aligned incentives. Any climate change solution that doesn't include lifting up the poor and helping the young and disenfranchised is a waste of time.

FYI the heat wave in the pacific northwest of north america is due to what's called an omega disruption in the jet stream at that altitude, a phenomenon that is rare and projected to occur less frequently as the global average temperature warms, according to IPCC climate models. Lots of things can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change, that particular occurrence isn't one of them.

Yeah, poor people are paying this tax anyways. No need to impose it a second time on them
