More than 1,200 global businesses, including U.S. companies such as Disney, Shell and General Motors, are moving to embrace a carbon price — even if President Trump isn’t, according to a new report by a Washington climate think tank.

I followed the link, and I still have no idea what a "carbon price" is or why "assigning" one is a good thing. As the OP, you should not be sending us into blind alleys. What the hell are you talking about?

And what does that money do except changing hands? How does it reduce carbon?

Sound senseless.

Hahahaha. So WaPo has no proof of any of this except for.

"according to a new report by a Washington climate think tank"

i.e. None.


It's just more manufactured nonsense from WaPo.

I'm not sure why any critically thinking adult still pays them mind.

If it is all returned it wasn't needed to begin with since they aren't using it to do anything beneficial, energy wise with it.

Meanwhile, in the Houston area the tank and pipeline leaks and burning off of toxic chemicals are too many to list.

So much for business cleaning up the environment.

Years ago people made fun of third world countries, don't drink the water or breathe the air.
