A group of Republican senior statesmen are pushing for a carbon tax to combat the effects of climate change, and hoping to sell their plan to the White House.
Former Secretary of State Jim Baker is leading the effort, which also includes former Secretary of State George Shultz
The group will meet Wednesday with White House officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, senior adviser Jared Kushner, and Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council.
Also supporting Baker's effort are Hank Paulson, treasury secretary for former President George W. Bush; Greg Mankiw, who chaired Bush's Council of Economic Advisers; and Marty Feldstein, chairman of President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisors, according to the person familiar with the plans.
Carbon tax legislation is unlikely to receive a warm welcome in the GOP-controlled Congress, where Republicans were staunchly opposed to Obama's climate agenda.

The globalists are not going to just give up.
They will have to be beaten again and again.
Democrats in R jerseys still outnumber patriots in office.

Follow the money, and everything will be made clear. These people CAN’T be that stupid.
GOP senior statesmen making push for a carbon tax.
WHY!
If they are living and lobbying, then who is paying them to hawk this idea?
Baker has mostly been a POS as long as I can remember.
I think I hate James Baker as much as any leftwingnut. He sure didn’t improve with age.
Stupid, Establishment RINOs.
Run for Congress then. See how far you get.
Politicians still trying to come up with ways to steal money from American working families.
They do appear to be seniors. Statesmen? Not so much.
Any agenda they can come up with to tax us to death. And where pray tell will that tax go? Who are they going to “pay” to cool the earth? BS - it goes in their pockets and furthers their globalist motive.
Where were these climate/tax geniuses the last 8-16-24-28 yrs?
They must have been re-animated.
