I don’t think it’s an unwitting attempt at all. Most environmental whackos with whom I’ve had the displeasure of talking are oftentimes anarchists who believe human beings are a disease (think: “The Matrix”). They want us to pare back centuries of progress to allow the “Earth Mother” to regenerate.
What they don’t realize is that the “Earth Mother” is a big girl who can take care of herself and is a little pissed off that we “little people” are attempting to meddle in her very large sandbox.
Earth is going to outlive every single one of us alive today and most likely humanity itself. The idea that something we’re driving or consuming is going to cause some sort of global cataclysm is like saying that spitting in a swimming pool is going to clog the filtration system.
What kind of self-hating moron would try to sequester or eliminate carbon, an element critical for life (what is unclear about “carbon-based lifeforms”?)?
Secondly, these environmentalists are watermelons - green on the outside, red in the middle. They care less about the earth than about convincing people to surrender to their globalist vision.
Thirdly, carbon tax schemes are not about reducing carbon, which is nigh impossible; rather it is to secure a funding steam for leftist utopian schemes.
YMMV
