19 Jul: The Hill: House votes to disavow carbon tax
By Timothy Cama and Juliegrace Brufke
The House passed a nonbinding measure Thursday to denounce a carbon tax, calling it “detrimental” to the United States.
The resolution, sponsored by House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), states that a tax on emissions of carbon dioxide — the most prevalent greenhouse gas that causes climate change — “would be detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not in the best interest of the United States.”
It passed 229-180 with two members voting “present.”
Six Republicans voted against the resolution...
Seven Democrats broke with their caucus to vote “yes”...
Thursday’s resolution also served as a major test for the Climate Solutions Caucus, which launched in 2016. It is a bipartisan group of 86 lawmakers, split evenly between the parties, who generally agree that they want to fight climate change, but rarely agree on policies to do so...
In the end, 34 of the climate caucus’s 43 Republican members voted for the resolution to denounce a carbon tax...

If they really want to fight climate change, they need to go to the source, the Sun.
We should fly them all to the Sun so they can adjust it to the perfect temperature for the earth.
