Yeah the economy's going to be doing really well when we all wipe ourselves out with climate change.

I'd rather pay a cordon tax then the tax we pay just so our little government people can go on big lavish holidays.

Basically everybody's getting taxed on the carbon they produce. Which makes big companies as well as everyday people drive less, use less water, less electricity and finding more sustainable ways of doing things. all that sort of stuff.
Most people don't care about much but money. So now the people that just don't give a s**t are being forced to care about the environment. Which I love because it's my future everybody's playing with.
