For the @citizensclimate blog, I wrote about new @NatureClimate research showing that a carbon price + dividend reduces poverty & inequality, and that aggressive climate policy is good for the economy. A thread đ§”explaining why (1/11):

The first study considers a hypothetical carbon price starting at $30/ton in 2015, rising about 5% or ~$2 per year, with 100% of the revenue returned equally to individual taxpayers. Not dissimilar from the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act (2/11):

The authors used their Nested Inequalities Climate Economy (NICE) model â modified from Nordhaus' famous DICE climate-econ model, but adding regional economic distribution data â to evaluate the impact on households in each income bracket from poorest to wealthiest 20% (3/11)

What they do:
@Chevron gives @USChamber at least $750,000 a year, helping pay for the debunked study that @realDonaldTrump used to justify withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.

.@Chevron also funds @AFPMonline, and AFPM opposes a price on carbon and lobbied against fuel economy standards for cars. Kind of hard to meet our Paris commitments without a #priceoncarbon and without fuel economy standardsâŠ

Want âinnovationâ?
Put a #priceoncarbon, so you can reward investors in #carbon reduction;
