NEW YORK - Conservative youth leaders in the United States launched a nationwide campaign on Wednesday to promote a carbon tax to combat global warming, defying the Republican Party and opposition to climate measures by President Donald Trump.
Drawn from Republican groups on more than two dozen university campuses, the Young Conservatives for Carbon Dividends called for laws to tax oil, natural gas and coal producers of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
The taxation plan would make fossil fuels more costly while the resulting revenues would go to taxpayers.
We claim to be the party that cares about the future that our children will inherit, and we need climate policy that reflects that, said Kiera OBrien, 21, a senior at Harvard University who co-founded the group.
We are offering up what we see as the common sense solution and the way forward for the party, OBrien told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
A lack of climate action was a vulnerability for the national political party headed by Trump, who is seeking re-election next year, the college Republicans group said.
The group backs a market-based solution, calling for an initial $40-a-ton tax on carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, at mines, wells or ports where it is produced. The tax rate would increase over time.

Trying to change the climate is like whistling while walking through the cemetery.
What God has ordained will not be changed by his creatures - thats you and me. We cannot change hurricanes, tornadoes - we cannot interchange spring and winter. Weather has its natural order and since the day of creation climate has constantly changed according to a divine plan. A plan of which we have only a glimpse. So stop spending billions to change it. Stop playing God. Enjoy life.

Poor Brit run El Reuters the Boris and Brexit news must be too much .
They peddles lie so aggressively to stop it .
If they’re that gullible and corrupt, they ought to be Democrats.
Oxy-morons
NO Sale.
Go away you frauds.
ANYTIME the solution is about TAXING the problem it is NOT a solution at all.
Smoking is DEADLY we hear. Don’t ban it. TAX it. As long as we make money, go ahead and kill yourself.
Climate change will destroy earth in 10 years. Let’s tax Carbon and generate some money to spend. If the earth is ending in 10 years, WHO cares about money?!
ALL of this is a FRAUD.
Go away you frauds.
Proggies/leftists/socialists/communists are liars. They lie to others and to themselves, constantly. That is a mental disorder.
This is the new Leftist tactic.
Form a group and claim to be Republicans. On Impeachment the clown front group calls themselves “republicans for the rule of law”
They have exactly zero influence outside the Fake News
Both parties fully infiltrated, both parties fully useless save for Donald Trump.
That not how US politics works. This habitual knee jerk shooting your allies in the back by you morons is the best propaganda bot the Democrat Fascist party has going.
Stop playing Tokyo Rose for the Democrat Fascist Party black propaganda machine.
Trump get things done because of his GOP allies in Congress.
This all or nothing dogma screamed daily around here by the Habitual Whiner choir, is total political idiocy.
No you are not.
Your hearing it from Democrat Propaganda bots using a false flag to try and establish a political credulity they don’t have otherwise
This is an old Dem tactic been around for decades. Have your propaganda bots claim to be Republicans “who seen the light” and converted to your political agenda
Nothing new here
I left the GOP years ago because of dolts who get a tingle up their leg when they see an R next to the name of a flack politician. You seem to be a prima facie example party loyalty. No thanks for me; I’m voting for Trump and walking right past Toomey the globalist. If the Rs had brains they’d welcome Trump voters like me rather than lecturing us.
The young people have been brain washed and dumbed down. They are now a greater threat to our future than just about anyone. When the older people age out, and these people are the ones running our country then we are doomed.
"When you are older my son, I'll teach you the ways of Big Rhinos:
-- ignoring the Deplorable peasants,
-- pretending there's on crisis on our Southern Border,
-- cultivating rich Globalist oligarchs,
-- giving fund-raising speeches to Wall Street Brahmin
-- jacking up your ego with cool user names like Pierre Delecto, and
-- lying to Utah voters about being a Trump supporter,
-- fake-charging the Trump bull, then retreating to that old cave by the water hole where you can hide till the coast is clear."
Very cute!
Says Reuters
Imagine, Wayne educed in stature from a mighty marshal to a 'dog catcher'.
Today's environment would never allow this job to be filled.
Animal's rights, ya' know.
After all, this is the season for snowflakes, each different from all others.
So what's the point? Anything for a buck, anything. Help me out here.
How should we tax payers interpret this?
"The taxation plan would make fossil fuels more costly while the resulting
revenues would go to taxpayers. ".
Two dozen?
That’s what they are bothering to write about as though it is some sort of groundswell change?
Ha ha! That's easy, V K. "Taxpayer" is a code word for the secret Ukraine kickback donation... for meritorious services to the Interagency and Uniparty!
