- We’re saved! Romney to the rescue of our climate! Supports carbon tax as ‘number one thing’ to ‘reduce temperatures’ – Laments Democrats missed ‘opportunity’ to enact carbon tax
Romney: “The folks at MIT, as you probably know, built a model saying, 'Okay, what things that we do, will actually reduce emissions, reduce temperatures or hold temperatures from going up as fast as they have it. What can we do?' ...
"And the number one thing, and frankly, the only thing that had a major impact was having a price on carbon, the carbon tax either through or through a whole series of mechanisms, but a carbon tax or some kind of price on carbon with border adjustment taxes." ...
"That's the only thing that has a significant impact,” Romney said.

Romney laments Democrats missed "opportunity" to "put in place that carbon tax" - "They could have done it it was an opportunity that was missed, and we'll be very sorry for that for a long time."
Romney: "Well, you know, the Democratic party had an opportunity this year -- Democrats only -- through reconciliation. They took, they had two opportunities, they could have put in place that carbon tax with the border adjustment fee, they didn't do it on their own...This is something they could have done and should have done. This is not going to happen very often where you have one party in charge of the House, the Senate and the White House. They could have done it it was an opportunity that was missed, and we'll be very sorry for that for a long time."# - A Republican Senate Will Keep Biden in Check?

- Prepare to barf: Sen. Mitt Romney helps GOP look for ‘new path on climate change’ – A GOP Green New Deal lite?!
A group of Republicans -- Romney and Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.), who worked with Democrats in 2009 and 2010 to cap carbon emissions, as well as others -- have taken it upon themselves to come up with market-based approaches to addressing climate change. “There’s no question that we’re experiencing climate change and that humans are a significant contributor to that,” Romney told The Hill. “In my view, the course forward is going to require innovation and technology breakthrough because nothing I’ve seen is going to reverse the warming trend other than that.” ...
Sen. Graham, who worked about a decade ago with then-Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on a proposal to curb carbon emissions, agrees with Romney that spurring technological innovation to reduce carbon emissions or remove atmospheric carbon is better than penalizing companies for burning fossil fuels.

Horowitz: Republicans must stop accepting the premise of the carbon/climate fascism agenda
Daniel Horowitz: "Republicans [should] finally stop accepting the pseudo-science and moral premise of the left’s climate agenda. If COVID didn’t teach them the lesson about industry experts and scientific consensus being used to fundamentally transform our lives, create monopolies, and centralize power, then nothing will. COVID should serve as the Great Reset of the two-decade GOP mistake of accepting climate fascism." ... Carbon capture is the perfect political issue, because it allows Republicans to feign triangulation with the greenies while enriching an industry that could never naturally thrive on its own without government mandates, marketing, subsidies, and regulatory capture. ... The worst thing we could be doing now is validating the left’s premise about climate and carbon and pushing expensive ideas built upon those fallacies." ...
"Just as with COVID, Republicans have largely accepted the false premise behind the global warming agenda, which is depleting our quality of life, crushing our freedoms, and making everything expensive. They merely object to the extreme to which Democrats are taking it. However, once you accept the premise, you lose the argument, which is why Republicans have joined in with climate regulations on appliances, green energy mandates and subsidies, and ethanol for years. Now, with so much of the scientific premise being exposed as a scam, just like the COVID vaccine and mask $cience, it’s time to reverse every “climate” policy rooted in the premise of carbon being a pollutant."
