As you know, there was a big climate change (scam) report released Monday that many media outlets are super enthused over

Fewer than half of the top 50 U.S. newspapers featured the new landmark IPCC climate report on their homepages this morning. Was your hometown paper one of them? Find out. Analysis by @theodorejay: https://t.co/kLJl7aQ80Z #CoverClimate #EndClimateSilence

Not quite sure what she’s talking about, as most newspapers and TV stations that lean left are covering it. But, are they covering this?

A $240 PER GALLON GAS TAX TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING? NEW UN REPORT SUGGESTS CARBON PRICING

A United Nations special climate report suggests a tax on carbon dioxide emissions would need to be as high as $27,000 per ton at the end of the century to effectively limit global warming.

For Americans, that’s the same as a $240 per gallon tax on gasoline in the year 2100, should such a recommendation be adopted. In 2030, the report says a carbon tax would need to be as high as $5,500 — that’s equivalent to a $49 per gallon gas tax.

If you think that’s an unlikely scenario, you’re probably not wrong. However, it’s what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report, released Sunday night, sees as a policy option for reducing emissions enough to keep projected warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The IPCC’s report is meant to galvanize political support for doubling down on the Paris climate accord ahead of a U.N. climate summit scheduled for December. The report calls for societal changes that are “unprecedented in terms of scale” in order to limit future global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the stretch goal of the Paris accord.

Yeah, pretty much would never happen. But, this is what they were recommending. But, the UN IPCC’s numbers are not quite as high as the reports

In order to effectively keep future warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the IPCC says carbon taxes would need to range from $135 to $5,500 per ton in 2030, $245 to $13,000 per ton in 2050, $420 to $17,000 per ton in 2070 and $690 to $27,000 per ton in 2100.

To meet the goals of the Paris accord, which seeks to limit future warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, the IPCC says carbon taxes would have range between $10 and $200 in 2030 and $160 and $2,125 in 2100.

A 2009 report had the average carbon footprint of Americans at 19.78 metric tons per year. That’s certainly gone down a bit (especially if we take all the Warmists and their extra large footprints out), but, let’s say it’s now 16mt: You’d pay between $160 and $3,200 in 2030 alone. And that’s just your own taxes. You’d also pay a lot more for everything as those taxes are passed on.

So, lead the way, Warmists: pay carbon taxes. Better yet, reduce your own footprints.

Warmists: At a mtg, we decided U need to spent $40T & change your lifestyles to adjust Earth's temp.

Skeptics: Can we see a transcript or video of that mtg?

W: No

S: Can you tell us what global average temp you want?

W: No

S: Are you living your suggested lifestyles?

W: No
