The Consensus Climate Solution

P2JW171000-4-A006B0-1--------WO A6B | Tuesday, June 20, 2017 **** THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. PAID ADVERTISEMENT THE CONSENSUS CLIMATE SOLUTION The Founding Members of the ClimateLeadership Council believe that America needs aconsensus climate solution that bridges partisan divides, strengthens our economy and protects our shared environment. The Council'scarbon dividends solution embodies the conservativeprinciples of freemarkets and limited government.Italso offers an equitable, popular and politically-viable way forward, paving the way fora much-needed bipartisan climatebreakthrough. Our carbon dividends program is based on four interdependent pillars: 1. Agradually rising and revenue-neutral carbon tax; 2. Carbon dividend payments to all Americans, funded by 100% of the revenue; 3. The rollback of carbon regulations that are no longer necessary; and 4. Border carbon adjustments to levelthe playing field and promoteAmerican competitiveness. This plan would achieve significantly greater emissions reductions than all current and prior climate regulations, while helping America's businesses and workers get ahead. In fact,the bottom 70% of Americans would be financially better off. Our carbon dividends solution is: Pro-Environment,Pro-Growth, Pro-Jobs, Pro-Competitiveness, Pro-Business and Pro-National Security. Working with arange of constituencies, the ClimateLeadership Council will develop and promotea consensus climatesolution based on these pillars.
