Citizens' Petition for Carbon Pricing Legislation

The peril to our planet from runaway global warming creates an urgent need for the United States to enact broadly applicable, transparent and easily enforceable climate legislation to sharply curtail greenhouse-gas emissions. 

Since pricing carbon creates powerful incentives that will reduce emissions, generate green jobs and promote economic and social equity, we hereby petition Congress and the incoming Obama Administration to make an economy-wide carbon tax a central component of comprehensive climate legislation to be enacted as soon as possible.

We endorse a progressively increasing carbon tax on producers and importers of coal, oil and gas to discourage fossil fuel use while putting energy conservation and renewable energy on an increasingly favorable footing. To avoid dragging down the economy and unfairly burdening low and middle-income people, we support dedicating carbon tax revenues to reduce regressive taxes and/or to provide regular distributions to individuals on an equitable basis. Any carbon tax revenue directed toward developing green energy must be for truly renewable sources.

By enacting such a carbon tax, the United States can re-establish the moral and political authority needed to negotiate a new global climate treaty strong enough to begin bringing Earth's climate into balance.
