We all need to buckle in, brace for the worst, and push back at every step. The strategy is just do everything they can to overwhelm the people of the country (their “adversaries”) so that even if they only get 10% successfully pushed through, that’s still a huge problem.

The real alternative is to restructure our incentives systems (i.e. capital market regulations), but that’s the absolute last thing that will ever happen. Carbon taxes are a step in that direction but are still just a tiny bandaid on a gaping wound.
